"Fences" lyrics

We used to talk for hours
The days moved slow
And nothing mattered
You were all my world was missing
But in your heart things were different

We'd get close, you'd move backwards
Should've seen all the patterns
'Cause every time you gave me hope
You just rip it all away
At the end of every road
And I'm not afraid to say
I know

That it's time for me to let go
Of the person that I hoped you'd be
I've been praying for a miracle
Now I'm just left with putting up fences

It's hard to draw the boundaries
When every single line is where you found me
I need to finally move passed
Drowning in the memories and the flashbacks
We were running from it all
We were yelling in the rain
Every four AM call always leaving us in pain
Now I know

That it's time for me to let go
Of the person that I hoped you'd be
I've been praying for a miracle
Now I'm just left with putting up fences
And it hurts to know our history
It's fading like a photograph
I'm lost in your apologies
Now I'm just left with putting up fences

We'd get close, you'd move backwards
Should've seen all the patterns
I don't know what you're after
But now we're strangers
We'd get close, you'd move backwards
Should've seen all the patterns
I don't know what you're after
But now we're strangers
(Now we're strangers)

And I know that it's time for me to let go
Of the person that I hoped you'd be
I've been praying for a miracle
Now I'm just left with putting up fences
(We'd get close, you'd move backwards
Should've seen all the patterns)
And it hurts to know our history
It's fading like a photograph
I'm lost in your apologies
Now I'm just left with putting up fences
