  • Well you're not the best at saying goodbyes
    But I am the best at tellin' you lies
    Like I love you, and you know sometimes
    I miss you too

    And all you left me with is empty spaces
    Got oceans on my back and I'm feeling the waves
    Of all the love I have washin' away to you

    And I wish that I could take away
    The weight that all of this shit brings
    I feel like you're across the hall
    But really you're a hundred miles away
    And I dropped my anchor on the shore
    You're not here anymore

    And sometimes it feels like I'm running in place
    And sometimes, it's like I don't remember your face
    But I can't go back, oh no I'm writin' songs for you

    And all you left me with is empty spaces
    Got oceans on my back and I'm feeling the waves and
    I'm in this empty pool, washing away from you

    And I wish that I could take away
    The weight that all of this shit brings
    I feel like you're across the hall
    But really you're a hundred miles away
    And I watch the breakers break, put on my happy face
    Oh yeah, I watch the breakers break, put on my happy face

    And you're not the best at sayin' hello
    But I am the best at letting you know
    I kinda love you and maybe sometimes I miss you too
    Okay, I fucking love and you know sometimes I miss you too

    And I wish that I could take away
    The weight that all of this shit brings
    I feel like you're across the hall
    But really you're a thousand miles away
    I watch the breakers break, put on my happy face
    And, I drop my anchor on your shore
    You're not here anymore Writer/s: Andrew Carey, Blake Stiles, Cody Holloway, Jeremiah Vanley, Lance Vanley, Sam Canty
