[Verse 1]

We don't have anything new

You have your disappointment

I have my time-stamped memories of you

It was always gonna be like this

[Verse 2]

We didn't have anything then

I had my will to survive

You hated all your friends, and then one died

It was always gonna be like this

[Chorus]

I loved you not because of you but because of me

I loved what I believed was true, just a fantasy

But you were always you

And I was always me

[Verse 3]

We don't have anything now

You just complained for ten years

I tried to stare down my self-doubt

It was always gonna be like this

[Chorus]

I loved you not because of you but because of me

I loved what I believed was true, just a fantasy

But you were always you

And I was always me

[Bridge]

This part is new

This part is new

This part is new

This part is new

This part is new

This part is new

This part is new

This part is new

[Chorus]

I loved you not because of you but because of me

I loved what I believed was true, just a fantasy

I loved you right up to the edge of your apathy

But you were always you

And I was always me

Yeah, you were always you

And I was always me

[Verse 4]

We can't have anything more

My life is fragile these days

You have the hardness brought on by war

It was always gonna be like this
