[Verse 1]
You told me that you're moving on
But it feels just like giving up
I want to tell you how I feel
But I don't want to make you feel like it's your fault for leaving me at all
But this won't change the way I look at you
This will change how I sleep
I wish I would have cherished it
You used to keep me warm
Now my warmth comes from embarrassment

[Chorus]
Why can't things go the way I hope?
The way I want them to?
(Instead of)
Always how I assumed they will
(Instead of)
How they always do
Why can't things go the way I hope?
The way I want them to?
(Instead of)
Always how I assumed they will
(Instead of)
How they always do

[Verse 2]
Simply put, life cannot be defined, it can't be simply put
But you gotta do your best, 'cause nobody forgets the things that they regret
There's no rewind and I should've kept that in mind
But on the bright side, I'd say I prefer sadness over spineless anyway
[Bridge]
This won't change the way I look at you
But this will change how I sleep
I wish I would have cherished it
You used to keep me warm
Now my warmth comes from embarrassment
I hope things go the way I hope
