lyrics

this ring on my finger slowly means less and less.
I went from wearing it every day
now I can't remember where I left it
you were the best thing that ever happened to me, but you happened so fast
you were the first and the last
you were the silence before the blast
you were applause and the snaps
you were the fight before the cast

you are a scar on my thigh
and you are barely getting by
you are so fed up with trying
you are the reason I'm still alive
you were the first and the last
you are the future and my past
you are the applause and the snaps
you are the party before the crash
you were so much to me
so much to do, so much to see
there's so much experience to have
you were all of the good and all of the bad
