Vacuum

As time goes by your heart beats for the first time
But one day you wake up and realize your best friend died
In the car crash of a love story that should never have been
So don’t date the only shoulder you ever had to lean

You become friends eventually and things move on
You both find new faces to build new dreams on
But there’s this hole in your heart that creates a vacuum
And there are days it will suck the air out of the room

And you’ll find another person to think of as your best bet
You’d flirt with them but there’d be something missing
Something they would know and you would know
But you’d rather wear a fake face than ever let it show

But when you think too hard you’ll realise it was right
Life is less unbearable without their petty fights
Now the wrinkle on their nose from when their friend swung the bat
is someone else’s story to learn as they lie together on the mat.
