I'd ask you if you remember that night
But I don't have to
I know you do
Because I remember using all my might
Trying so, so hard not to cry
When I was driving you home
For the last time
And you played that song
Our song
And I desperately wanted to sing along
But if I had opened my mouth right then
All you would have heard was a sob
I parked the car when I got to your house
And I didn't even have to look over at you
To know you had begun crying, too
You buried your face in my chest
And you said to me,
"Don't go
Please don't go
Don't leave."
You said it like little kid
And I held you closer to me then
Than I think ever did.
And I can say with certainty
That was the most pain
I've ever felt in my life.
I stroked your face with my thumb
And I watched your blue eyes
And I was thinking
"Is this what it feels like to love someone?"
On the way home,
I screamed
Like a toddler in a store
Beating her fists on the floor
I screamed until I thought
It would kill me
Before it could hurt anymore
I was wrong, baby
I was wrong.
I told you before I left,
"I'm coming back for you"
And I am
Don't you forget.
I know you remember that night
You remember that night, don't you?
