I flashback thru my memories from long times past,
Wonder how you could take what we had and toss it out like trash.
Waited my whole life for a lover/friend/partner like you,
I wish you could be mine with all I’ve got inside me.
But with that other girl in all your photographs,
She doesn’t look like it’s a temporary thing
So I guess I’ll have to wait till this life ends
And hope the little I’ve got can last until then.

The pictures mean nothing; she doesn’t know what I know
She doesn’t know what I do for you.
You’re perfect and perfect for me too because I’m perfect for you.
Wait here forever for one more chance
To prove my love is worth it, that it’s pure
That it lasts and does not become thin or faded.
Your name pops up on my phone:
“It’s me, stop calling just leave me alone”
I guess that means you’re happy now
Hadn’t picked me out of the crowd.
But how could you not?
I’ve given you every single little piece of me I’ve got
“It’s over now, don’t try to get it back”
You don’t have to say it; I can read it on your face.
