They always said that the first is the hardest When the whole thing ends or falls apart Then you're back to the start again And here i am again Learning how to do the simple things Like how to feel whole And how to let people in Is this what i'm living with? You said, remember me? And i said I remember, how could i forget? You were the one that took my breath And took the air with you when you left Now i'm reaching out for someone else I remember, how could i forget? My walls fell just before you left Back when i still loved myself I remember I should forget you Now we're airing out feelings like laundry Take the pictures off my phone that remind me of you If you only knew I still have every letter you sent They were written like you meant every word you said Was it all pretend? You said, remember me? And i said I remember, how could i forget? You were the one that took my breath And took the air with you when you left Now i'm reaching out for someone else I remember, how could i forget? My walls fell just before you left Back when i still loved myself I remember I should forget you Now i'm seeing ghosts in my sleep And every time they talk i hear you speak Your whisper in my head, it makes me weak I'm holding onto words that i can't keep So tell me what's real When i still see your face in all the people that i meet I swear you're still here When nobody was there, you believed in me You said, remember me? And i said I remember, how could i forget? You were the one that took my breath And took the air with you when you left Now i'm reaching out for someone else I remember, how could i forget? My walls fell just before you left Back when i still loved myself I remember I should forget you
