Plans In Pencil

She was only 22

She left a note laced in her perfume

It was supposed to say "I love you"

But a goodbye would have to do

No it's not supposed to be this way

After hours of conversation you were supposed to stay

But isn't that typical

And that's why she makes plans in pencil

And now that it's over

And those brown eyes are gone

Old memories tattooed in permanent ink

Sometimes you don't get closure

You just have to move on

First dates and birthday parties

She almost wrote it down in sharpie

But isn't that typical

Guess that's why she made plans in pencil

So she welcomes a new year, welcomes a new self

Welcomes a new life

Thinking this time she's gonna get it right

And the next one will be better than before

And the next one will be better than before

And now that it's over

And those brown eyes are gone

Old memories tattooed in permanent ink

Sometimes you don't get closure

You just have to move on

First dates and birthday parties

She almost wrote it down in sharpie

But isn't that typical

Guess that's why she made plans in pencil

And now it's over

And yesterday's gone

Old memories tattooed in permanent ink

Sometimes you don't get closure

You just have to move on

First dates and birthday parties

Almost wrote it down in sharpie

But isn't that typical

I guess that's why she made plans in pencil
