Why Can't That Be Us?

Listening to the song we used to sing
It starts to make my eyes water and my ears ring
Looking at the picture you drew for me so long ago
There's no doubt that I have reached a new all time low

Watching the show that we always talked about
Then I slowly open the water gates to let my tears out
The commercial that we'd always laugh at is on
Part me still can't believe that you are really truly gone

A girl walks by with your same perfume
You're probably with him, I can only assume
The sound of your laugh is on my mind
Love and pain have become intertwined

I remember old stories and secrets we would tell on the phone
But now I sit in my room with tears and a useless heart all alone
So go ahead and give me a call one day
And see what I have to say

I imagined us being one of those miracle couples
The ones you only see in the movies
Like Noah and Allie or Jack and Rose
But now...who knows?

Why can't that be me?
Why can't that be you?
But...mostly,
Why can't that be us?
