There was always limitations
Which validated
Pretending to be patient
Got complicated
So how was your weekend?
We still pretending that we care
I guess we gotta believe it
So no one stops to stare

So why can't you love me
The way you said you would?
Back when we were dreaming
About everything we could

I've been holding on to memories
But they don't feel the same
It's like everything's been changing
In every single way
And I swear the river ran faster
And I swear the trees were tall
And I swear your hair was blonder
I don't know what I thought at all

So why can't you love me
The way you said you would?
Back when we were dreaming
About everything we could be

We both saw it coming and we both did nothing about it
Tell the truth, not another excuse
I can tell when you're lying
There's two ghosts in the room, yeah
there's me and there's you and we're dying
Remember what we used to be
Remember what we used to be
Remember what we used to be
You and me

So why can't you love me
The way you said you would?
Back when we were dreaming
About everything we could
