Quit romanticizing tragedy
Don't fantasize eternity
Just live here in reality, oh
I know I'm not the easiest
And sometimes you would second guess
The love I hold inside my chest, for you

And I never meant to let you down
And I, I gotta tell you now

If this ain't what it used to be
Why's it taste so bittersweet?
One last look before I leave
I just can't believe
My California's a little colder
And I can't sleep in empty sheets
Cause I miss when you loved me

Started off so innocent
It felt just like a perfect fate
But nothing good is permanent, no
It leaves me scarred to break your heart
But makeshift love just falls apart
Some nights I binge our goodbye kiss
To save me from my loneliness

And I, never gonna live this down
And I, I gotta tell you now
Oh, I gotta tell you now

If this ain't what it used to be
Why's it taste so bittersweet?
One last look before I leave
I just can't believe now
That it's over
Was so nice to know ya
And I'll keep safe the memories
But I miss when you loved me
And I miss when you loved me

If this ain't what it used to be
Why's it taste so bittersweet?
One last look before I leave
Could you believe that
I adore ya
But I got nothing for ya
So I'll just have to let you be
But I miss when you loved me
