You were never an actress
I was never a tall blonde dream from a movie screen
You never lived for right now
I never seemed to get caught in the moment
You were never perfect
Like I ever cared
Barely scratched the surface
Always end up bleeding on the inside
Skate parks at midnight
Good friends and three drinks
None of this feels right the charade is ending
You’re in the backseat getting ahead of that
Midwestern sunrise
We were never established
We were never holding hands to make your friends jealous
You were never dressed up
I never got to see you in your high heels
We were always searching
Like I ever cared
Never had a purpose
We could barely walk in a straight line
Now I’m at home feeling alone
Ditching these upstate blues
It’s alright I get it
You didn’t really mean it to hurt this bad
Enjoy California, the sunny paranoia
That maybe this dream is ending
Now I’m at home, three whiskeys alone
This is how I always end up
