You moved away from around the corner
with somebody new
Now they say you're up and coming
but I'm not sure what it is you do

Last year, from A to Z, was a 
far cry from pain
But anyone hear could've warned me how long 
it should've stayed the same
it could've stayed the same

You've changed, so have I
but anyway I tried to stay 
and now I wonder why
You've changed, so have I
our independent ways of life 
just never seemed to apply
And from now on, we'll carry on 
but remember this:
we're writing our names in the lifes of the ones we miss

It's funny how we use our pitty 
and replace it with joy
You should've been there with me in New York City, you could've filled the void

But now, you try to get back at me 
with that same feeble stare
You say: Your life is just some stupid story 
and no one really cares
'cause no one really cares 

that you've changed, well so have I
but anyway I tried to stay 
and now I wonder why
You've changed, so have I
our independent ways of life 
just never seemed to apply

And Holy Mary, Mother of God
forgive our sins
We never know what it is we've got 
until the cold city wind blows it all in your face
with a humbling disgrace

Oh, how do you deal with a story like this?
Oh, how do you deal with a story like this?
Oh, how do you deal with a story like this?
We're writing our names in the lifes of the ones we miss
