Why does the past always feel like it's better? Why can't we make it last forever? Why does the past always seem like it's better? Why can't we make it last forever? I'ma wake up with an alibi Tell me is that a lie? We gon' light up like a firefly Let me just stay a while I'ma wake up with an alibi Tell me is that a lie? We gon' light up like a firefly Let me just stay a while Lyin' on the bathroom tile Knowin' how she like her style Weekends up in lisle I got numbers no strength to dial Can I put percentage on a paper Make it last forever as we spiral into dark? Hand in your hand Do you think we'll last till the end? I remember laughing as friends Your smile is silent again Pass me that burnt cigarette I still see my silhouette It doesn't hurt for me yet You say you'll die, juliet Why does the past always seem like it's better?

We gon' light up like a firefly Let me just stay a while I'ma wake up with an alibi Tell me is that a lie? We gon' light up like a firefly Let me just stay a while I hate instruction I'm not really good out in public Most times I ain't got shit to say I rather fake it And put on a smile Than tell you exactly what's wrong with my brain Rotting inside yet obsessed like a lunatic You're my umbrella that covers the rain I rather put all my problems on pages Than sit it here and ruin your day, hey Now and then I have these nightmares again Where you end up such a mess My heart is treasoned cuz you're the one that I long for in bed Who knew steels rods like to bend Just say you love me again Juliet Why does the past always feel like it's better?
