You took the dark and made it darker, blotting all from view
Took me far and took me farther than I wanted to
and now I'm lost here in the cold wandering on my own
Wondering if I should just give up on all I've ever known

Writing songs about a loss of love I never knew
and somehow, 8 years later, it's always about you

The moonlight's never as bright as it was in your bedroom
and since you left the flowers here never seem to bloom
You and me together, oh, it should've been so good
I could've sworn you said "forever" but I guess I misunderstood

Writing songs about a love I knew time would undo
and somehow, 5 years later - Always about you
It's always about you

Connected in our sleep by the science of our dreams
You would never hesitate to point out all my schemes
You opened up my heart and allowed me to believe
and now you're gone and I feel just a little bit naive

Writing songs about a love too perfect to be true
and somehow, 5 months later, it's always about you
It'll always be about you
