Remember me
|
The one who picked up all the pieces, me
|
The one whos love for you increases everyday
|
And it won't go away like she did
|
Remember her
|
The one who left your heart abandoned, her
|
Well she's back again and I can't stand it
|
It hurts 'cause with her tears all glistening
|
She's got you listening to her promises
|
Well remember this
|
|
I didn't have to leave you to love you
|
I didn't have to lose you first to want you more than ever
|
I didn't have to leave you to love you
|
I didn't have to see if I could tear your world apart
|
And still win back your heart
|
I didn't have to leave you to love you
|
I loved you from the start
|
|
You know me
|
I only want whats best for you and I'd leave
|
If you really wanted me to
|
But if I say that I don't want to stay
|
It would be right
|
You know her
|
And she knows how to get to you
|
Oh the nerve, she's offering her bed to you
|
And what's worse
|
Is that she knows you started over
|
But she still insists that you owe her one more try
|
Well I knew
|
|
I didn't have to leave you to love you
|
I didn't have to lose you first to want you more than ever
|
I didn't have to leave you to love you
|
I didn't have to see if I could tear your world apart
|
And still win back your heart
|
I didn't have to leave you to love you
|
I loved you from the start
|
|
I didn't have to leave you to love you
