I pushed you away because you pulled me
It felt too right, so I left
We're evergreen in the glow of the party
But you're gone when the lights turn on again
Now I'm on my third cup of coffee
Tell my momma I'm sorry
I just can't stay awake when you're living in my dreams
And all these ghosts in the hallway
Make me tell you I can't stay
But at the end of the night, I know that I'm to blame
I'm not in love with you, just in love with yesterday
I load myself into your story
And thought that I could change the end
I was jaded and captivated, infatuated with all the maybes
Held my breath as you held me
A pretty picture of pretend
Now I'm on my third cup of coffee
Tell my momma I'm sorry
I just can't stay awake when you're living in my dreams
And all these ghosts in the hallway
Make me tell you I can't stay
But at the end of the night, I know that I'm to blame
I'm not in love with you, just in love with yesterday
But you come back and you say,
"I guess I haven't really been around"
I noticed
"I guess that we both tore this to the ground"
And you missed all the things I never said to you
But go and prove how you didn't ever wanna do me wrong
Okay, well, I didn't ever wanna write this song
But I fell into those arms that whispered, "Stay with me"
And just a memory
Now I've got a cold cup of coffee
Wish I'd told you I'm sorry
It's just hard to be loved and be let go
'Cause these ghosts in the hallway
Make me tell you I can't stay
But at the end of the night, I know that I'm to blame
I'm not in love with you, just in love with yesterday
