How long has it been since you were next to me?
Too much space between the lines
You have left me far behind
City lights and flashing signs, radio waves
Ah, playing what was once our song
Even now I sing along
Through all the days where circumstance surrounds you, it must be so maddening
And we’ve reached the point where I can’t even look you in the eye
Writing letters out, return to sender, didn’t mean a word I said
The words in ink aren’t like the words in my head
But soon they’ll find their way to you
No matter how much that I love you, no matter how much that I hate you
There is a crimson thread that connects us, knotting circles, gentle binding up
There’s no way that I could say it, but right now I really wanna hold your hand
And I don’t understand, why does it always hurt so bad to say goodbye?
Everything is worthless, throw it all away
Letters filled with stupid hurt
Pretty lies and empty words
Nothing’s quite the same, you know everything must change
Ah, what are we supposed to do
If we find it isn't true?
Waiting for your letter, did you send it, maybe it’ll never come
And I wrote all my reflections out onto these empty days
Faced with every choice we could imagine, you went through the door ahead
Pushing on, I fell behind you again, you always were my light, my friend
Kinda like kids who think they’re mighty, you held my hand and squeezed so tightly
And I remember looking at you, you held your gaze so straight, so far away
There’s no way that I could say it, but right now I wish that you would look at me
I just don’t understand
Tore up into bits all of the love letters I had
Stationary scattered with the memories that were sad
Baby I will keep you safe, trusting what I’d say
I was so naive, but darling you were my first love
No matter how much that I love you, no matter how much that I hate you
There is a crimson thread that connects us, knotting circles, gentle binding up
So right now I have to tell you, though it may hurt, I’ll still love you 'til the end
Hey although I said that I’m so lonely, though I said death could solve this only
If I could tell you how I feel then maybe finally my heart would heal
It’s okay, it all will work out, though I don’t know what sort of pain the future holds
We won’t face it alone
It may strain, but it’ll never break our crimson thread.
