When you're 18 you think it'll last forever
You don't think about how messy you could get
You let yourself fall like there's a net to catch you
Before all the walls and trust become an issue
When you're 18 you make promises that you can't keep

There's a space on my finger where a ring would fit perfectly
If the universe had different plans for you and me

Nothing ever broke my heart
Like our future falling apart
Nothing ever left a scar
Like seeing you in someone else's arms
And I'll live through that part
But dreams die hard

When you're 18 you think things will last forever
Yeah, I let myself get wrapped around you
And maybe it's better if you and I are severed
Than trying to untangle two vines that grew together
We're not 18, but sometimes I wish we still were

And even though I know that it's been over for a while
This smoke lasts so much longer than the fire

Nothing ever broke my heart
Like our future falling apart
Nothing ever left a scar
Like seeing you in someone else's arms
And I'll live through that part
But dreams die hard

I know I have to let you go
I guess that now we'll never know
How we went so wrong
Stop dreaming long after you're gone
I know I have to let you go
I guess now we'll never know
How we went so wrong
Dreaming long after you're gone

'Cause when you're 18 you think it'll last forever
You don't think about how messy you could get

Nothing ever broke my heart
Like our future falling apart
Nothing ever left a scar
Like seeing you in someone else's arms
And I'll live through that part
But dreams die hard
