Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Twelve year sentence

Serving time in your shadow

I was there every night

You forgot by tomorrow

Always your shoulder

Never your hand

Watched you fall in and out of love

With someone I ain’t

[Chorus]

Twelve years wasted, can’t get ’em back

Waiting on a “maybe” that cracked

Twelve years of hopeful memories that never even happened

Just stories I told myself, and I’m done with that acting

Twelve years of just being a friend

Same old circle, same dead end

Twelve years sacrificing my soul for your comfort

This is my release, my last word

[Verse 2]

I learned your coffee

How you take it, how you fake it when you’re fine

I knew your birthdays

Better than I ever knew mine

You called at midnight

I came running like a fool (yeah)

You said “you’re like family”

Guess that was your favorite tool

[Chorus]

Twelve years wasted, can’t get ’em back

Waiting on a “maybe” that cracked

Twelve years of hopeful memories that never even happened

Just scenes in my mind, and I’m done with that acting

Twelve years of just being a friend

Same cold story, same dead end

Twelve years sacrificing my soul for your comfort

This is my release, my last word

[Bridge]

Funny how I knew your dreams

But you never learned my middle name

I bled myself in little streams

You just watched it circle the drain

So I’m walking out, light as air (light as air)

Leaving all that waiting there

You don’t get to call this love

I’m the one I’m choosing now

[Chorus]

Twelve years wasted, I’m taking ’em back

Breaking out the loop, crack by crack

Those hopeful memories that never even happened

I’m writing new ones, I’m done with that acting

Twelve years of just being a friend

That long chapter, this is the end

Twelve years sacrificing my soul for your comfort

Now I’m free at last, that’s my word

[Outro]

Twelve year sentence

Served it out, I’m walking clean

I gave you all my second chances

Now I’m saving them

For me (oh)
