lyrics

And when I think about you
You weren't the best of me
But you were a good thing.

Can somebody please snap me out of these reveries
I’ve been down too long trapped in the same memory

And when I think about you
You weren’t the best of me
But you were a good thing
So when I close my eyes all i can see
Is just you in the snow

Can somebody please snap me out of these reveries
I’ve been down too long trapped in the same memory
And it’s been bad before like when i was a child
But it seems this time i’ve been down for a while
I just wanna go home, i just wanna be better
Please leave me alone, please leave me

And when I think about you
You weren't the best of me
But you were a good thing.

And something keeps telling me
I just wanna see you smile
And something keeps telling me
I just wanna see you smile.
