You remind me of someone that I used to know
He had a heart that hurried and hair that was gold
Truth be told, it was wishful thinking
That was the end of us
And now I go over and over in my head
Of what once was
You remind me of someone that I used to know
He had scrapes on his knees and stains on his tshirts
The setting of a starry night
One that the rest of the world could see
And I'll admit sometimes I still make believe
But then we moved miles away
He said we're strangers now
That's just the way it's supposed to go
He doesn't have time to know me anymore
And the day he closed the door
I silently cried
You remind me of someone that I used to know
He had blue eyes that haunted
So much they taunted a shameful truth out of you
And it was so easy, he never made me out to be a fool
How I wish, oh I wish you knew
Said, you remind me of someone that I used to know
But he fell for a girl with ginger hair and skin as pale as snow
And they took the world in the palm of their hands
Then I watched as they let it go
My, my what a show
But then we moved miles away
He said we're strangers now
That's just the way it's supposed to go
He doesn't have time to know me anymore
And the day he closed the door
I silently cried
You remind me of someone that I used to love
But he broke my heart that day
With all the words he couldn't say
He looked me straight in the eye
Armed with all of his lies
That's when I knew, I never knew him at all
But then we moved mountains away
He said we're strangers now
That's just the way it's supposed to go
He doesn't have time to know me anymore
And the day he closed the door
I silently cried
