No Reason

Do you remember
That guy you used to date
Am I a story now or
Just a dream you tell yourself
Was never real
Does that help you to feel
All right about the way
You ended it

I can't believe you
You told too many lies
Yet another disguise
From the girl I thought that I could finally
Trust to say
When things were not OK
But you kept me in the dark
Until the day you told me just to stay at home

Chorus:
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how this was supposed to be
You swore you loved me and were on my side
A thirty second voicemail and you ran to hide

Why did I trust you
I feel like such a fool
For thinking you were true
I've spent way too long waiting
For a phone call
That I know will never come
Everyone said you were the one
And now no one's saying anything at all

Chorus:
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how this was supposed to be
You swore you loved me and were on my side
A thirty second voicemail and you ran to hide
The pain and shock wore off a while ago
What you were thinking, I'll never know
You vanished with no reason that you cared to say
I hope you never stop running away

Are you happy
Without me around your head
Have you remembered why your bed
Fits one better than two or
Have you found your next?
A woman or a man?
And do you wonder if you can
Ever feel that way for someone else again

Pre-chorus:
How long will it be
Till another one sees
Anything worth seeing in you
Someone more than a friend
That you want to let in
And one day forget about me

Chorus:
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how this was supposed to be
You swore you loved me and were on my side
A thirty second voicemail and you ran to hide
The pain and shock wore off a while ago
What you were thinking, I'll never know
You vanished with no reason that you cared to say
I hope you never stop running away
