When we would walk together, and I loved you so?
When a simple message could brighten my day
When a hug and a kiss didn't feel so far away
And painfully, slowly, over time you pushed me from you
Cut me out and I stood there, not knowing what to do
I'm still wondering if I'll ever be let back inside
Still wishing and hoping for the pain to subside
Do you remember? Remember how we would laugh?
When we'd spend hours smiling, when you were my other half
When a touch didn't hurt and a look didn't sting
And painfully, slowly, I stopped wearing my ring
I know I have baggage, I know I come with a lot
But I know I'll give you everything, all of me more often than not
Do you remember? Remember when we would talk?
When you'd tell me everything and I didn't have to knock
When I'd tell you everything and I didn't have to fear
But painfully, slowly I started hiding what I thought you didn't want to hear
Defeated Deflated Demoralized and Confused
I'm holding myself together but I feel beaten and used
Don't tell me you still want me, don't tell me you care
Don't feel sad when I'm sad, when you're not even there
I see you through the window sad and alone
I wish I was the one you would call on the phone
But I'm just a shadow, a glimmer of what's past
And one day I'll fade away, fade away at last
Do you remember? Remember when you were there for me?
I was lost and despised but you helped me keep going you helped me be free
Now its my turn to support you, my turn to hold you up
But you won't allow it, I can't fill your cup
Do you remember? Remember when you let me go?
Probably not, because you didn't even know
But that's what happens when you shut someone like me out
I can't get through no matter how high I jump, no matter how loud I shout
I can try only so much, before its no use
The tether unravels a while before its finally cut loose
I still don't know if it's me and what I bring to the table
Or if you just like when your life is unstable
How many times have I told myself I'm done.
No more, screw you, you're not the one
Put my faith in my God and my head to my tasks
Be who I am, no mirrors or masks
Keeping up my health and the health of my son
Living my life, finding my joy and having my fun
Remember, remember me when
You open the door and let someone in
There will always be someone in the world out there
Someone who loves you, who really does care
It seems like I'm not the one, the one you'll adore
But at least whoever it is, they got you to open the door
Remember, remember me when
You're happy and you can truly smile again.
