I'm Reminded

if i haddent messed up maybe we would be still be togeather

Why must things go so wrong when outside is so nice

Holding onto someone who's heart is like ice

And despite all the tears she'll always be loved

Hoping for a second chance but it never comes



I saw this girl i use to know about 6 days ago

we use to live in the same home for 2 months or so

she gave me so much, i kind of hated that

i knew there was no way that i could pay her back

all i could offer her was me and that wasn't much

i tried to keep my feelings weak but they grew with every touch

wasn't sure how to act, i wasn't sure if it would last

she was generous but i tried limiting the favors i asked

i didn't want it to seem like i was taking advantage

even though i was going through a rough time when i could barely manage

i still felt since I'm a man i shouldn't let her take care of me

it should be the other way around, but i couldn't, and that embarrassed me

but understand i was grateful for the love that she gave me

i don't know what i would've done if she hadn't saved me

thats what makes it hard for me to speak when i see her

cause i didn't give her my all, acting like i didn't need her

soon i could tell by her eyes her feelings for me had started to fade

thats when i realized I'd made a mistake but it was to late to change...


i still remember the morning she ended our connection

for weeks all i saw was emptiness in my eyes when i saw my own reflection

it hurt me more knowing she moved on so easily

a week later shes back with her ex, yet I'm stressed bout her leaving me

i tried so hard to forget all the memories i had with her

but its hard when so many little things remind me of what i had with her

she comes to mind every single time i see an intrepid

same with when i drive by certain stores on highway 37

the cafe at the gas stop, i don't go there no more

speed past speed way down to the western door

see its the past that lingers on reminding you not to repeat it

thats why sometimes it takes long for some us to leave it

but i ain't bitter i don't hold no grudges

I've had time to think realizing i may have misjudged this

she was there for me when nobody else was

it was the first time in awhile i actually felt loved

and even though it feels like my hearts been dropped and broke

i just need to cope, cause it didn't work out and things often won't...



Now that this over, I'm over what use to be

sure certain things bring back memories of you and me

but now if i see you in the distance, i just look away

Finally able to let go and move forward with my day

It use to be, I couldn't even talk

without mentioning your name or painting your face in my thoughts

Even when I forgot about you, I'd be quickly reminded

If not by a song than by simple things done out of kindness

You've always had a kind heart up until you broke mine

People told me it would happen, i just chose to stay blind

You told me many things which now i know

Were meaningless but all the same made it hard to let go

For there was still that old emotion lingering on

Keeping you in my heart, but, maybe thats why it was broken so long

Cause when we were together, I knew I had you to stand

Beside me through it all, but I guess that wasn't in your plans

So I decided to let go, and stopped reaching for your hand

And just like words do when they're written in the sand

I disappeared as the tide rose above the land

Now living beneath the waves where only a broken heart can...
