lyrics

I remember when
We were both young
and the sound the rocks made
as they clicked off your window pane
anywhere I was
was anywhere you needed me to be

I remember when
You kicked down my door
and threw my crap on the ground
told me this is what was going down
with a tear in my eye
i let you leave with no reply

and maybe my eyes may have strayed
but in my heart you will always stay

Whenever I'm close to you
Baby I feel no pain
But if leaving's what you choose to do
than I will not stand in your way
but i'd be a liar if I didn't say
that I want you

I remember when
my world was so cold
I was too numb to feel
Didn't know where to go
but with the touch of your hand
I realized that there were better days ahead

I remember when
I lost your respect
Something that I worked hard to get
(how could i do that to my best friend)
If I get one more try
I won't let the opportunity pass me by

and maybe my eyes may have strayed
but the memory of you will never fade

Whenever I'm close to you
Baby I feel no pain
But if leaving's what you choose to do
than I will not stand in your way
but i'd be a liar if I didn't say
that I want you

and Maybe my eyes may have strayed
but my love for you will never go away

Whenever I'm close to you
Baby I feel no pain
But if leaving's what you choose to do
than I will not stand in your way
but i'd be a liar if I didn't say
that I want you
