The Story of Us Lyrics

The Story of Us Lyrics

I Used To Think One Day
We’d Tell The Story Of Us
How We Met And The Sparks
Flew Instantly
People Would Say,
“they’re The Lucky Ones”

I Used To Know
My Place Was A Spot Next To You
Now I’m Searching The Room
For An Empty Seat
’cause Lately I Don’t Even Know
What Page You’re On

Oh, A Simple Complication
Miscommunications Lead To Fall Out
So Many Things That I Wish You Knew
So Many Walls Up I Can’t Break Through

Now I’m Standing Alone
In A Crowded Room
And We’re Not Speaking And
I’m Dying To Know
Is It Killing You Like
It’s Killing Me Yeah
I Don’t Know What To Say
Since The Twist Of Fate
When It All Broke Down
And The Story Of Us
Looks A Lot Like A Tragedy
Now Next Chapter

How’d We End Up This Way?
See Me Nervously Pulling At My Clothes
And Trying To Look Busy
And You’re Doing Your Best To Avoid Me
I’m Starting To Think One Day
I’ll Tell The Story Of Us
How I Was Losing My Mind
When I Saw You Here
But You Held Your Pride Like
You Should Have Held Me

Oh, I’m Scared To See The Ending
Why Are We Pretending This Is Nothing?
I’d Tell You I Miss You But I Don’t Know How
I’ve Never Heard Silence Quite This Loud

Now I’m Standing Alone
In A Crowded Room
And We’re Not Speaking
And I’m Dying To Know
Is It Killing You Like
It’s Killing Me Yeah

I Don’t Know What To Say
Since The Twist Of Fate
When It All Broke Down
And The Story Of Us
Looks A Lot Like A Tragedy Now

This Is Looking Like A Contest
Of Who Can Act Like They Care Less
But I Liked It Better
When You Were On My Side
The Battle’s In Your Hands Now
But I Would Lay My Armor Down
If You’d Say You’d Rather Love Than Fight
So Many Things That You Wish I Knew
But The Story Of Us Might Be Ending Soon

Now I’m Standing Alone
In A Crowded Room
And We’re Not Speaking
And I’m Dying To Know
Is It Killing You Like
It’s Killing Me Yeah
I Don’t Know What To Say
Since The Twist Of Fate
When It All Broke Down
And The Story Of Us
Looks A Lot Like A Tragedy Now, The End
