When I look back and grin
About that time you shed your hoody to give us a seat
You leaned your head on mine
As we shared secrets so a love we could begin
Inside your arms my heart by yours did dwell
Your lips touched my forehead
As you told me you would be my comforter
So I let you look in my eyes as I fell under your spell
I write it down so I know
The facts are in my words
What you did, the pain you brought
I’ll endure only one blow
When I miss the memories we made
And the promise we laced in our fingers
I’ll read this and remember you’re afraid
You let it win, and it won’t fade.
No, you won’t fade.
But I turned when you moved to kiss
I told you I was sorry, that I wanted you too
Little did I know that it would be the last
We never had a chance at bliss
Once in a while I wonder if we tried
What we may find in what we started
If we could still be what we need to thrive
All the goods from our hands we’d supplied
I write it down so I know
The facts are down in my words
What you did, the pain you brought
I’ll endure only one blow
When I miss the memories we made
And the promise we laced in our fingers
I’ll read this and remember you’re afraid
You let it win, and it won’t fade.
No, you won’t fade.
But I won’t let myself get in that red car
You revved your engines then said not ready
The gun went off, and you idled
Without passing the starting line, we can’t go far
My cries maintain to maintain the bond only echo
So how can I know what you mean
You left the stage before curtain call
Come time for the encore, it’s only me who’ll go
I write it down so I know
The facts are down in my words
What you did, the pain you brought
I’ll endure only one blow
When I miss the memories we made
And the promise we laced in our fingers
I’ll read this and remember you’re afraid
You let it win, and it won’t fade.
No, you won’t fade.
