lyrics

It feels like I never left now that I am home
But when I look to the west I can understand just how far it goes

The only time I felt secure was when you lied and I called your bluff
Cause we sat at the edge of the earth unsatisfied
Falling out of love

Why do I wonder
Wonder where you are
Why do I wonder
Wonder what you're thinking
Why did I bother
To try to make it work
Why did I bother
When I saw it sinking

And I need to remind myself just how bad it got with you and the silence that you left before you lied
There's no reason for me to feel sad when I don't have to feel nervous everyday

Why do I wonder
Wonder where you are
Why do I wonder
Wonder what you're thinking
Why did I bother
To try to make it work for so long
Why did I bother
When I saw it sinking

It feels like I never left now that I am home
But when I look to the west I can understand just how far it goes
And I knew from so long ago like a miracle that I belong with you
But you taught me how a dream can die so I'll take the drive and enjoy the view

And I need to remind myself just how bad it got with you and the silence that you left before you lied
There's no reason for me to feel sad when I don't have to feel nervous everyday
