You can take back all the memories we made
You can take back all the photographs we took
I would trade everything that we once had to have you back in my arms

Not a day goes by when I don’t think of you
Every little thing that you use to say still replays in my mind
I wish I could turn back the hands of time

Remember our first kiss
Remember the first time you called
Remember all the things that use to make you smile
I didn’t know that one day you’d be gone

Now that you’ve left
Now that you’re gone
All my days are filled with nothing but depressing songs

You can take back all the gifts you gave
You can take back all the letters that you wrote
I would trade everything that we once had to have you back in my arms

Every time I prayed,
I prayed that He would change your mind
But now I’ve counted the days
And I guess you won’t be coming back

Remember our first date
Remember the first night we slept by each other’s side
Remember all the things that use to make you laugh
I didn’t know that one day you’d be gone

But now all I want is you to be happy
And if that means that I am out of the picture
All I can do is stand behind you and support you
Just remember, when you need someone
I will always be 2 steps behind you
