You said that space was what you needed
Clear the clutter in your mind
Honestly, I felt defeated
But I gave you all your time

And my hair has gotten longer
Space for you is getting smaller
I tried so hard to be what you want
Changed a lot, yeah since you saw me
Rumination, aching slowly
Spent a year thinking it was my fault

Joel, why'd you run away?
You know that I wish you stayed

I'd be lying if I said you don't cross my mind (mind)
Time to time I wonder why
How do you sleep at night? (How do you sleep at night?)

And I'm chasing all the memories
Slowly fading out the melodies
Why can't the good outweigh the bad?
Thank God, we never got those tattoos
Or I'd be reminded of you
And just get mad all over again

Joel, why'd you run away?
You know that I wish you stayed

Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
