Thinking back, I can't help but remember
I remember that we once said forever
We told each other we would always make it
And that we were the perfect pair together
I remember the nights staring at you while you slept
Kissing your forehead to show you I cared
Holding each other so tight but it never seemed close enough
There are so many memories that we shared
I remember the long nights of walking for hours
Talking about everything that happened during the day
Telling each other how perfect they were
And how our love would never fade away
I remember the cuddling for hours on the couch
Staring into your beautiful eyes
A smile would come across your face
And we promised that we would never tell lies
I remember the lonely nights when I didn't have you
Instead I had the blanket that you gave to me
I could always smell your perfume on it
And reminded me of how perfect marriage would be
I remember when you said that I was your dream guy
You constantly told me that I would be the perfect dad
You couldn't wait until we had a family together
Now looking back it only makes me sad
What happened to this love that used to be so strong
This love that we shared that seemed so right
We always worked through everything
And we would never get off the phone when we were in a fight
We used to say that we would never let that song happen to us
But I guess that song really did come true
We have both chosen different paths from each other
And I've lost all the love that I used to have for you
I sit here just with memories of what used to be
And I'm happy with the life that I am now living
I no longer have to feel like crap about myself
And I no longer have to constantly be giving
I always gave so much of myself to you
And you never appreciated any of it
You always made me feel worse about myself
So I knew that "we" was something I had to quit
I do not care about you anymore
I no longer even call you a friend
I'm finally happy with myself
And I'm glad that we will never talk again
So goodbye my ex lover
Goodbye to you who opened my eyes
Opened my eyes that made me realize I deserve better
And I no longer have to listen to any of your lies
