Do you know that I’m lost still -
Even though I’ve survived?
Do you know that it wakes me
with sweat and chills at the same time?
How we almost made it,
we went through so much.
Even two years later
the truth always hurts.

’Cause you were summer
when my heart took wing
Now you only reside in my memory.
So I’ll begin with a tear in my pride
hoping it will heal but it’s been taking time.

Do you know it’s been hard to
believe that love really exists?
Because I have clarity now,
I see through lies I used to miss.
And it keeps me cautious so I don’t mistake
what could feel good now could be another heartache.

’Cause you were summer,
I almost forgot
knowing we were always on the clock.
If I knew feelings could change overnight
I would’ve run away from you that day,
try to forget your face forget your name.

My heart’s back in one piece
but sometimes it doesn’t beat right.
And it seems I’m still living
even though apart of me died.
’Cause we almost made it
I relied on us.
And it still shocks me
to have to give you up.

’Cause you were summer and my whole city,
now you only reside in my memory.
So I’ll get through all my days and my nights
but the ghost of you is always by my side.
