I Swear I Saw You Wither Away Lyrics

One mistake, and your face is facing away
And I'm stuck pretending this time never happened
I called your name
But I swear I saw you wither away

The sky had looked so bright
But my conscience wouldn't let me look past black and white
My conscience wouldn't let me picture you there

Just like the rest of them
All drowned out and black and white
All alone, just like I knew you were

It's the crossroads that had me believe that I keep having to look back
It's the crossroads that had me believe that you were part of the reason why
I could live life with open eyes

I can't let myself get caught in between
These past few months, rotting days on repeat
I've been trying not to grit my teeth
But the thought of a year just reminds me that you're leaving
