When It Was Us
We used to talk on the phone until the break of dawn,
Almost every day.
Feeling above it all, so young,
But I accidentally let you slip away.
I started to ignore your call when you rang,
Needed a little time to myself.
I shouldn't have let you just hang,
'Cause you're settled with someone else.
Do you remember when it was us?
Nothing else ever mattered.
But I threw away your trust,
And now my heart has shattered.
I wonder if you can still recall my name?
If I was you, I would just forget.
It probably just causes you an abundance of pain,
I'm someone you should have never met.
I remember back when it was us,
He wasn't a part of the picture.
But our memory will fade to dust,
As he places a kiss on her...
Do I ever cross your mind?
It hurts to think about you with him.
And I constantly say your name time after time,
Wishing it was you and I again.
And I get the point that you're content,
In the end that's all I've ever wanted to see.
I type away all these messages but they'll never get sent,
You don't care enough to respond when it's me.
Do you remember when it was us?
Nothing else ever mattered.
But I threw away your trust,
And now my heart has shattered.
I wonder if you can still recall my name?
If I was you, I would just forget.
It probably just causes you an abundance of pain,
I'm someone you should have never met.
I remember back when it was us,
He wasn't a part of the picture.
But our memory will fade to dust,
As he places a kiss on her...
Memories are an awful thing to remember,
They stick in your brain and always linger.
You try to forget but they seem to come knocking at the the front door,
You fight them away but they're difficult to ignore.
So you lie awake at 3 A.M. reciting their name,
Every repetition causing you a troubling pain.
Knowing it's your fault that they walked away,
And they aren't coming back no matter what you say.
And I have this problem of pulling up a picture of her and I on my phone,
Remembering when it was us, but now I'm left on my own...
Do you remember when it was us?
Nothing else ever mattered.
But I threw away your trust,
And now my heart has shattered.
I wonder if you can still recall my name?
If I was you, I would just forget.
It probably just causes you an abundance of pain,
I'm someone you should have never met.
I remember back when it was us,
He wasn't a part of the picture.
But our memory will fade to dust,
As he places a kiss on her...
