about

I wrote this song about meeting an ex girlfriend. Quickest song I ever wrote.

lyrics

The night began, I was alone.
Only had my wallet and my phone.
Opened the door to the bar,
That's where I saw her.

Her eyes alone blew me away.
I knew for sure I'd never felt this way.
She caught my eye and gave a smile,
So I stayed for a while.

I know that falling for you got us into this mess to begin with,
But admit it, you had fun while it lasted.
I know you're moving away and it almost killed me to hear it,
But I'll always be here if you want me...

She looked around, she needed to check,
And threw her arms around my neck.
She said a word or two to me,
And then she kissed me.
I looked in her eyes and I knew that
Now there was no turning back,
Coz if I did, she'd steal my heart
And I'd be without it when we had to part.

I know that falling for you got us into this mess to begin with,
But admit it, you had fun while it lasted.
I know you're moving away and it almost killed me to hear it,
But I'll always be here if you want me...

It's been a couple of days now
And all I have are memories and hope
that one day she might return.
If she decides to stay
A hundred miles away
Well I guess I'll sit here and watch as my heart burns.

I know that falling for you got us into this mess to begin with,
But admit it, you had fun while it lasted.
I know you're moving away and it almost killed me to hear it,
But I'll always be here if you want me, you want me, you want me, you want me, I know you want me.
