An Unexpectedly Slow Burn

So what if I’m wrong, and all of this was all for nothing?
I’m so scared to admit that I might have lost my hope
But I know that you’re the same as me
Seeing your heart as just a vacancy
And hoping one day to let someone in

So where did we leave off?
Was it the changing of the seasons?
You know I always had my reasons for moving on
And leaving you to make it on your own
I remember the day you lost hope
And left all that we had in a mess of emotions
And I’m over it

How does it feel to be the one left behind?
To know that the world moves on
While you’rе catching up
On the days you spent just living out a lie?
No onе can save you now
You paint yourself a victim
But it's never in the right light

I can’t believe this is what you envisioned
And your cheap shots fall with a lack of precision
And we’ll stand here waiting for you to pick yourself up again
Was it worth it?
Who will be the last one standing
When the smoke clears the room
And you find that there’s no one left?
You burned your only bridge between you and me

How does it feel to be the one left behind?
To know that the world moves on
While you’re catching up
On the days you spent just living out a lie?
No one can save you now
You paint yourself a victim
But it's never in the right light

You severed every bond you made
And took the best of me
An unexpected slow burn
Killed the last of the love I tried to keep
Now I’m too far gone for hope to bring you back to me
I was a fool for thinking that you could change for anything

You severed every bond you made
And took the best of me
You severed every bond you made

How does it feel to be the one left behind?
To know that the world moves on
While you’re catching up
On the days you spent just living out a lie?
No one can save you now
You paint yourself a victim
But it's never in the right light
