"One Of Us" lyrics

Why is it so that when it gets dark
You see so much clearer the state of your heart
Yea it hurts through the day but when you're in bed
That's when you lose the war with your head
And just when you think you've climbed out of hell
All you need is a trigger like a familiar smell
Then you're drowning in memories you can't erase
Cause no one can take that place

Cause one of us is stronger
One of us can stay awake
And one of us cannot send a message at 3 am
Sayin' I miss you babe
And one of us sleeps longer
One of us is done with crying
One of us don't feel like they die
Whenever they realise this is not a dream
I just wish that one of us was me

I don't wanna hear about fish in the sea
Or that I can do better, it's just meant to be
Cause if there is a reason I can find one
And I'm tired of looking, I'm tired, I'm done
The truth is I know it's me who's at fault
Cause I took you for granted and never gave you my all
Wish that I held you tighter when I had the chance
And not let you slip through my hands

Cause one of us is stronger
One of us can stay awake
And one of us cannot send a message at 3 am
Sayin' I miss you babe
And one of us sleeps longer
One of us is done with crying
One of us don't feel like they die
Whenever they realise this is not a dream
I just wish that one of us was me

They say time heals all wounds
But clearly time made me choose
Cause every day [?] would understand
That I can't live without, I can't live without
You
