lyrics

When you get to where you want to go
I know you will send me a postcard
And you will say in your handwritten way,
With your i’s dotted with distant hearts
“I am fine over here, but the sun seems fake
And that’s been since you last saw me.
How are things over there? I hear the clouds are real
But they seem so dark and gloomy.”

Weren’t you the one who said you loved me?
Weren’t you the one who said you cared?
Weren’t you the one who had me believing?
Guess I shouldn’t have dared

When you become just what you want to be
Wait and see, you will send me a letter
Trying to start a conversation
Just to make yourself feel better
And honestly I can’t say what I’ll do
When I see your name inside my mailbox
And read the words of an apology
That was just a few years off

Weren’t you the one who said you loved me?
Weren’t you the one who said you cared?
Weren’t you the one who had me believing?
Guess I shouldn’t have dared

And so every day in a post office far away
You will waste your change on me
Just like I wasted all my time on you
In the days of my youth

Weren’t you the one who said you loved me?
Weren’t you the one who said you cared?
Weren’t you the one who had me believing?
Guess I shouldn’t have dared.
