Shea Dewan - False Crime

Don't you hate the way it always ends on a cliffhanger and you don't know how to feel
And don't you hate the way that even after all these years nothing seems to make it feel real
And I know you hate the way that I used to dress and the way I can't make decisions
So I try to compensate with the only thing I know how to do
Sit there and listen
You know I hate the way you'd only call me when you needed to and when I could be of use
I guess it's my mistake for always granting your wishes and for getting attached too soon
I really hate the way you'd always make me lie to keep all of your secrets
Looking at it now what I miss the most is my other half, but you can keep it
It's a false crime
Waiting for the punchline
Wish this was the first time
And I hate to see it end but it's a false crime
Lying for our whole lives
Bet this was the last time
I never got to say goodbye to you & your false crime
Skipping through the memories and wondering why everyone let it last so long
Just like I skip through my playlist every excruciating time that it gets to our song
Walking different ways so I don't run into you and skip the awkward "hi"'s
Because the only thing I have left to say to you is a half-hearted goodbye
I'm ok on my own now but no one ever tells you that it hurts so much to go
I've made new friends who make me happier in the end, just thought I should let you know
I'm not as lonely as you thought I was, you weren't the end of it
And you're not some saving grace
I thought I meant more to you than they ever did
Didn't know I could be replaced
It's a false crime
Waiting for the punchline
Wish that we could rewind
Never dreamed that I would leave but it's a false crime
Can't deny the bad times
But we had some good times
I never got to say goodbye to you and your false crime
But I won't forget the days in that stolen summer haze
When you were the only one I called
Keep wishing we'd go back but I can't change the past
Pretend it wasn't real at all
I thought you meant what you said but the overwhelming dread tells me it was honesty you lacked
I keep trying to be fine but the truth is this whole time there's still a part of me I can't get back
It was a false crime
Always missed the punchline
Wish that was the first time
And I had to watch it end it was a false crime
You lied for my whole life
Knew it was the last time
I never got to say goodbye to you and your false crime
In that stolen summer haze, I was counting down the days
In that stolen summer haze, I was counting down the days
In that stolen summer haze, were you counting down the days like me
In that stolen summer haze, we were counting down the days
