The Wrecks Rely Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A brief pause in her voice convinced me to stay
She couldn't move her lips
But she said it with her face
How'd things get like this?

I hurried out the door
And made it halfway down the street
And in a drunken rage, she chased me
Scraping her bare feet
I said "How'd you get like this?

I miss who you were
But you are not her

[Chorus]
I won't rely on you
The way that you rely on me
I will not think of you at all
Or how you cry yourself to sleep
I will be standing here, much happier
And doing what I please
But until then, I'll miss you like hell
And who we used to be

[Verse 2]
Do you remember when
We spent the whole summer
Working shit jobs for cash
So we could move out to the west coast
By God, it went so fast
And how we fought the whole damn time...
Then moved out anyway

I miss who you were
But let me say first;

[Chorus]
I won't rely on you
The way that you rely on me
I will not think of you at all
Or how you cry yourself to sleep
I will be standing here, much happier
And doing what I please
But until then, I'll miss you like hell
And who we used to be

[Bridge]
We fought and we fought
She said, "Boy, you're a star."
I said, "What's wrong with that?"
She said, "That's all you are!"

[Chorus]
I don't rely on you
The way that you would like to think
I do not think of you at all
Or how you cry yourself to sleep
I know it's hard for you, but here's the truth:
It's time, I think, for me
And I may miss you like hell
But hell ain't nothing like what we used to be

[Outro]
I may miss you like hell
But hell ain't nothing like what we used to be
