lyrics

When you are gone I will regret
The few times I had power and did nothing with it
Like come over or call
To say I miss him, too, you're not alone

But I never do the things I wish I'd done
Just keep finding new ways to fuck things up
And I know if I don't do something
I'm gonna hate who I become
Hate the person I've become

When you are gone I will regret
The few times I had power and did nothing with it
Like come over or call
Cause I was too sad, or too scared, or anxious, or vulnerable

Still I never say the things I wish I'd said
Just keep 'em all held captive in my head
By now if I don't do something
I'm gonna hate the way this ends
Over and over again

Oh I hope that you don't take this in the wrong way
But I found myself hoping he'd die before he forgot me
I just couldn't stand the thought of him not calling me Code
And confusing the goddamn phone
Confusing the goddamn phone
Confusing the phone for the goddamn TV remote

Yet I never do the things I wish I'd done
Just keep finding new ways to fuck things up
And I know if I don't do something
I'm gonna hate who I become
Hate the person I've become
