Remember That I Loved You
There seems almost nothing left to say except goodbye
We shared special things that went wrong I don't know why
I don't feel the same way I did before, I feel hollow
Writing this makes me feel worse, nothing but sorrow
My heart used to skip a beat or two when I saw you
Now it hangs heavy with remorse and now it's askew
Lover, friends we used to be now strangers we are
Where did you go? You pushed me away so far
I can't reach you at all, it's all down a path you chose
Feeling the distance between us, yet proximity is close
You act like you don't give a damn, all cold and hard
Do you hurt as I do, but refuse to show your cards?
I find myself resenting you, things are getting tough
I ignore and wait for the moment to pass, it's rough
Perfect I am not, mistakes I often make, I am human
You instead leave me cold with my only friend bourbon
What happened? What went wrong? Help me fix it
Am I really crazy? , all I asked was that you commit
Alone I stand, not fighting for our relationship
I can accept that I cannot fix this courtship
Despondent. laden, overburdened, unnoticed am I
Do you not see what I see? best to say goodbye
Parting's the right thing, not hanging on your apron
Yet in the beginning we were love made in heaven
I give up damn you, no fight left, you hurt my badly
Remember, I loved you, I really loved you madly
