I found your Poison T-shirt
look what the cat dragged in
Seems like it was yesterday
I remember when
We said the word forever
But that's all over now
We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk show
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
Whenever I'm sober I say to myself
It sucks that it's over but at least we gave it hell
Our friends always gave us shit
Of being so in love
King and queen of the PDA
We kissed until the sun came up
And you were gone
We never said goodbye
We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk show
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
Whenever I'm sober I say to myself
It sucks that it's over but at least we gave it hell
Time keeps moving on
Our chances are all gone
To follow through with all we said we'll do
So I sing the eulogy
To the ghost of you and me
And drink another beer
The sun went down and you were gone
We never said goodbye
We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk show
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
When I'm not sober I say to myself
Maybe I should call her, wish her the best
But I remember it's over
And this feels like fucking hell
