about

Personal account of dealing with heartbreak.

lyrics

We met long ago, back when love didn't mean a thing
And I couldn't have hardly known how much she'd mean to me
She's changed a lot since then, but it's okay, I changed a lot too
And it seemed like it was together we grew
well the first time that we kissed I was flyin' high
but now that she's gone it's fillin' my mind

"So read it and weep, my resignation
from being all yours, just sign the papers
you know i thought twice, you know i'm in love
but it's what I need," she said to me
and I never felt so alone as i did when she was by my side
cause i wish she was mine, I wish she was mine

She had some bad times, more than i expected to find
and I know it's possible she'll never be alright
so if she needs some space, I understand
cause it's all that I can do if I want her back
but I tell you it's been hard letting her go
how long I can live like this I don't know

"So read it and weep, my resignation
from being all yours, just sign the papers
you know i thought twice, you know i'm in love
but it's what I need," she said to me
and I never felt so alone as i did when she was by my side
cause i wish she was mine, I wish she was mine
