Remember the day I almost lost you?
But I got to you in time
Remember the day I knew what to do?
The day our stars aligned

Remember after that lonely six months?
When you left me there to die
Remember the bolded and italic fonts?
I'd tell you its fine but I promised not to lie

Remember when you told me you didn't need me?
And told me to leave?
I told you where I would be,
And told you someday you'd fucking grieve

Remember the way we used to fall?
The way we used to love?
I almost found it again in an empty Chicago mall
But there was still your love I couldn't get rid of.

Remember when I stupidly thought,
You were my second chance at living a lie?
I remember throwing but you never caught
And I remember never knowing why

Remember wishing I would be less persistent?
When I would've given anything to have you.
But I took too long, and got to distant
Now I'm crying because I didn't come to your rescue

When I told you I'd be there through the dirty and clean?
And I completely blew it?
Remember when I promised I'd quit the nicotine?
You were all I ever needed and i knew it

Remember the last time I slept well?
I fell asleep in your bed.
Remember the last time my mind didn't ache like hell?
Your voice was echoing in my head.

Remember the moment we fell in love?
Looking into your beautiful emerald eyes.
You were something my mind couldn't let go of
And it wasn't until now that I realize

Remember that final kiss?
A final goodbye, the end of a show.
Remember that you're something I'll always miss
And something I'll always know

And trust me I Remember the feeling
Lost in a universe where I'm all alone
I Remember self destructive ways of dealing
Lost in a world I can't call home

Remember the day I almost saved you?
Slipped through my fingers like grains of sand
Remember the day I almost knew?
But you decided to drown instead of look for land
