It doesn't seem like long ago

We traded hearts and I was sold

To the girl I thought I loved

But two years later I gave up

But that's just a story that we tell

The way it happened felt like hell

And back to this day I'm still confused.

I swear it was last night

You were in my dreams

I swear it was yesterday

That you were the one keeping me

From doing all the things

I know I shouldn't be

But that was the best thing that ever happened to me

Cause I learned a lot about myself

And I learned to shut my mouth

If I've got nothing good to say at all.

I hope you understand that this comes from my heart

I hope you're happy now

I hope that you'll go far

You're a sweet, sweet girl

And I put you through a lot

Looking back I know what you meant

When you said you care

When you said you care.

And lately I know I've been scared to say

The words I love you

So I avoid it when I can

And work on trying to fix this

Gaping hole you left inside me

It's not easy to repair

But either way I wish you well

Just know that I am always there for you.

I hope you understand that this comes from my heart

I hope you're happy now

I hope that you'll go far

You're a sweet, sweet girl

And I put you through a lot

Looking back I know what you meant

When you said you care

When you said you care.

I hope you understand that this comes from my heart

I hope you're happy now

I hope that you'll go far.
