Do You Remember
Do you remember the very night I spoke
To you about how my heart had broke?
How I spent long enough as your friend
And I just wanted it to end?
I wanted to become something more
Than your best friend or a notch in your headboard
And you said you felt the same
Nothing could top the love we proclaimed
The next morning came and I felt like nothing
My eyes were heavy and my chest was crushing
Because I felt like I had set myself
Up just to be put with the rest on your shelf
Do you remember the months we spent without communication?
The days flew and the nights dragged with narration
Of every word you said to break my heart then mend the pieces
Together and you promised me your kisses
You wouldn't know how much I was hurting
Longing for your return, breaking, aching
How I cried for you and begged for you to stay
But you had sworn your love to another on an earlier day
I was too late and I was the one to blame
For the pain and sleepless nights that came
With your name in my head and the tears in my eyes
I couldn't understand how I could love someone I despised
Do you remember the days after I won you over?
I don't know how I managed to but I never felt better
My chest felt lighter and I had never seen so well
But like everything else, all we had fell
The days you were mine were the best of my life
The nights came and they turned into an endless strife
Fighting lasted for days and the scars will last forever
No remedy to the memories whatsoever
Your voice rang in my ears like music
It replayed so much that it started to make me sick
Because I couldn't understand how I could love someone
And hate them so much so I came undone
Do you remember the first night I started having doubts
When we were together for good but I couldn't stop the shouts
Screaming at me that something was wrong
And I had been lying and lied to all along?
The rain lightly fell from the 3am sky that night
And I sat on my balcony with a pack of cigarettes and no light
With nothing but "Chemicals" playing on repeat
As I gave up and admitted defeat
I had been so drunk and high the days following
That I can't remember what we had been doing
I had lost myself in alcohol, pot and cocaine
For however long we spent broken up again
Do you remember the time leading up 'til now
And all we've been through that's worth taking a bow?
We've spent days fighting for each other
Nights giving up and forgetting one another
Well no, I could never forget you
I've tried before, and it's impossible to do
When you've made such an imprint in soul
The darkness it is, with such a huge, black hole
There are nights I tell myself I'll try harder
And others I think we could do better
Than each other and what we do to us
But I think I'm still too selfish to just give up
Do you know that I'll spend my entire existence
Loving you and wishing away this distance
Between our bodies and our minds?
You'll be a part of me until my veins unwind
To you about how my heart had broke?
How I spent long enough as your friend
And I just wanted it to end?
I wanted to become something more
Than your best friend or a notch in your headboard
And you said you felt the same
Nothing could top the love we proclaimed
The next morning came and I felt like nothing
