A selfish year came and went
And constant stress left you broke and bent
Late-night drives with you through suburban streets
Listening to plans of a future so incomplete
We used to talk like everyday
It's been a year since rehab took your phone away
Your parents sent you off, now we're miles apart
I know we're different but I felt like you were my counterpart
My scattered friendships act as painkillers too
While I imitate your actions to feel closer to you
I think of all the time you wasted messing around
And all the family events and invitations that you turned down
Foggy lenses blurred the timeline
While you were stuck on cloud nine
Wish you'd drop the act and resign
'Cause I know you're not fine
I feel so selfish wishing that you'd stayed on track
Going to college and all of that
Just so I could spend more time with you
Writing letters with no other purpose
Than to tell you again how much that it hurts that
You're not right back home
Flashbacks evade the constant withdrawals from
Missing out on all your frequent texts and calls
If I could turn back time right now I would
Relive these memories from our childhood
I'm tired, I'm tired
But I will seek you out
