〜VERSE 1〜

We only spent a few weeks apart

yet you've seemed to have a change in heart

all this time and not a single text

is it because you've lost interest

It's our last year here before we leave

maybe that's why you got cold feet

And I know long distances are hard

so it's better if we don't even start

But you're treating me like I'm a stranger

All our colors are growing fainter

I know the truth is you're afraid

but how could you choose to throw us away

〜PRE-CHORUS〜

All we do now is pretend

Feels like I've lost more than just a friend

Do you ever wonder what we could've been

〜CHORUS〜

If I had known it'd end this way

I never would've let you get so close babe

you know I almost saw you in my future

but you had to mess it up by being immature

Cause when I gave you my heart to hold

you decided it was a burden and let it go

so instead you took a piece of my soul

And turned my world dark and cold

Tell me why you're doing this to me

it hurts so bad I can't even breathe

what you're doing is killing me

my future soldier, am I your first casualty

〜VERSE 2〜

Now we're both acting so cold

We see each other but we pretend we don't

Maybe it was bad timing

But inside I've been slowly dying

What happened to all we had before

I'm searching for something in your eyes

But I don't know what I'm looking for

And I don't know what to do anymore

My friends all tell me it's not worth it

cause you're treating me like I'm worthless

But I still can't seem to let you go

Cause I liked you more than you'll ever know

〜PRE-CHORUS〜

All we do now is pretend

And things won't ever be the same again

Do you ever imagine what we could've been

〜CHORUS〜

If I had known it'd end this way

I never would've let you get so close babe

you know I almost saw you in my future

but you had to mess it up by being immature

Cause when I gave you my heart to hold

you decided it was a burden and let it go

so instead you took a piece of my soul

one day you'll pay for what you stole

Tell me why you're doing this to me

it hurts so bad I can't even breathe

what you're doing is killing me

my future soldier, am I your first casualty

〜BRIDGE〜

I can't believe you didn't try to fight harder for us

the days of laughter and golden hours now flake with rust

And I guess I was the first to break

so I walked up to you after school that day

I know what you told me wasn't the whole truth

I didn't believe it and I think you knew

I know the real reason cause I've been there too

I just didn't think it'd come between us so soon

〜PRE-CHORUS〜

All we do now is pretend

This wild ride has come to an end

Do you regret not knowing what we could've been

〜CHORUS〜

If I had known it'd end this way

I would've never let you get so close babe

you know I almost saw you in my future

I'd be your girl and you'd be my trooper

But you made a choice to leave me behind

And now we're running out of time

But I still hope you'll make it right

Before I'm your first casualty tonight
