the things we do to ourselves

tell me where we went wrong
tell me why i miss you so
and where did you go?

the clouds are coming in
the rain starts to fall
and with it goes my smile.

tell me why we fell apart
tell me how we failed ourselves
how did we make this?

every time i think maybe
this could be the time you let me in
i run into your mirrors once again

tell me why the smoke and games
tell me who's got the blame
for what we do to each other

something brighter has caught your eye
that's the only reason i can see
that explains the way we're acting

tell me why we grow up
tell me how we've grown apart
we can't see eye-to-eye anymore

i wanted to be there for you
and to have you here for me
but all that's here is emptiness (where you stood).
