lyrics

I saw you in my sleep the other week,
When did my dreams get so bleak?
When did everything get so bleak?

We carved our names into a tree,
Like that's how it would always be,
As if that's how it would always be.

Said we'd plan our own little family,
Little feet running circles around me,
Now you're talking shit about me.

And there were good times but then,
I didn't think you'd do this again,
Line up some other fool to pretend.

Did you leave your heart in Minnesota?
'Cause I didn't think in four years that this would be over,
And what the fuck were you doing,
When I was there in ruins?
Now I've got to pick up the pieces.

I'm gonna get high off your remedy,
'Cause this is the man I thought I'd never be,
And there were nights when I'd never sleep at all,
But if I did I'd dream of cliffs and I'd always fall.

You could have just told me,
We could have had a talk,
But in the end you took the decision to walk.

Did you just feel some sympathy for his fucked up personality?
You know I can't think of anything,
Oh and I can't think of anyone worse.

Did you leave your heart in Minnesota?
'Cause I didn't think in four years that this would be over,
And what the fuck were you doing,
When I was there in ruins?
Now I've got to pick up the pieces.

And I won't try,
I won't try to remember you.

And I bet your life feels like a fucking fairy tale,
Well let me tell you that those fairy tales aren't real.
And I bet that you think that you were right all along,
If that were the case I wouldn't write this song.

Did you leave your heart in Minnesota?
'Cause I didn't think in four years that this would be over,
And what the fuck were you doing,
When I was there in ruins?
Now I've got to pick up the pieces.

And I bet your life feels like a fucking fairy tale,
Well let me tell you that those fairy tales aren't real.
And I bet that you think that you were right all along,
If that were the case I wouldn't write this song.

And there were good times but then,
I didn't think you'd do this again,
Line up some other fool to pretend.
