When you're 18 you think it'll last forever You don't think about how messy you could get You let yourself fall like there's a net to catch you Before all the walls and trust become an issue When you're 18 you make promises that you can't keep There's a space on my finger where a ring would fit perfectly If the universe had different plans for you and me Nothing ever broke my heart Like our future falling apart Nothing ever left a scar Like seeing you in someone else's arms And I'll live through that part But dreams die hard When you're 18 you think things will last forever Yeah, I let myself get wrapped around you And maybe it's better if you and I are severed Than trying to untangle two vines that grew together We're not 18, but sometimes I wish we still were And even though I know that it's been over for a while This smoke lasts so much longer than the fire Nothing ever broke my heart Like our future falling apart Nothing ever left a scar Like seeing you in someone else's arms And I'll live through that part But dreams die hard I know I have to let you go I guess that now we'll never know How we went so wrong Stop dreaming long after you're gone I know I have to let you go I guess now we'll never know How we went so wrong Dreaming long after you're gone 'Cause when you're 18 you think it'll last forever You don't think about how messy you could get Nothing ever broke my heart Like our future falling apart Nothing ever left a scar Like seeing you in someone else's arms And I'll live through that part But dreams die hard
