I wish you the best for the rest of your

lot I said you
you were the love of my
life the love of my life
but did I break your
heart and did I waste your
time I tried to be there for you
you then you
tried to break
mine it is an asking for a lot for an
apology for making me feel like it kill
you if I tried to leave you said you'd
never fall in love again because of me
then you moved
on immediately
but I wish you the best for the rest of
your life I felt sorry for you when I
looked in your eyes but I need to
confess well I told
you I said
you you

life the love of my
life so you found her now go fall in
love just like we
were if I even was it's not my fault I
did what I could you made it so hard
like I knew you

depressed or losing my mind my stomach
upset almost all of the
time but after I
left it was obvious
why because for you
you I was the love of your
life but you are not

a week and a half or two weeks or
something and I haven't seen much
sunlight and I've been not sleeping very
much and I haven't woken up past 100
p.m. um except for today for this where
I woke up at 9:30

now um which is from our debut album
when we all fall asleep where do we go
which is one of our favorites this is my
brother by the
way and we
um we write everything together and we
always have since the beginning and um
this is like one of our favorite songs
that we've written um and it was like
when I was 16 and you were like
21 and uh it's the first time I fell in
love and it was very scary and it's
funny how that fear never goes away um
the fear of falling or whatever so
anyway the song is called I love you
it's
not
true tell me I've been light
to crying

do I've never been the
type
to let someone see
right
through oo

trying to make me laugh and nothing has
to change today you didn't mean to say I
love
you I love you
and I don't want

fly maybe we should
just
try to tell ourselves a
good lie

cry may you take it back say you were
try to make me laugh nothing has to
change today you didn't me to say I love
