lyrics

I remember where we used to live
sharing one bedroom with all of your friends
we would talk until the morning brought the sun
close the shades and wait till night was dark again

then i remember what you used to say to me
it's not what you have it's what you give
and i would try to give you everything
hoping one day you would notice me

i remember the last day we spent as if it were yesterday
we both got all dressed as if we were going somewhere
i turned to you and saw how tired you were and i said just go to bed
you closed your eyes and never opened them again

and i remember what you used to say to me
it's not what they think it's who you are
so i would try to show you in me
instead i lost myself in you

I miss you
like i never thought i would
i love you
like i never thought i should
i wonder
what you would think of me
i

I remember how you kept me sane all those nights
you would stay and hold me tight
you would scare way the fears that hid in my bed
stop the sheets from covering my head
