[Verse 1]
Last night I had a dream about you and me
Laughing, kissing, hugging, you know--how it used to be
Woke up without you but now it ain't new to me
For some reason this time hurt more than usually
It's been awhile and somehow you're still affecting me
Damn, I'm letting my emotions get the best of me
Eventually I'll accept we're not meant to be
Cuz time heals wounds but it won't erase the memories
And I can't get that image of you and me out my damn mind
I can't lie, I know you're gone but I can't understand why-
--'d you break your promise; you know that I can't stand lies
And I just want to try it one more time, baby can I?
Am I the man that you were always looking for?
You told me I was, so whatchu out there looking for?
I'm standing right here and you can believe that
I haven't moved a single inch, hoping that you'll be back
[Hook x2]
Why did you leave?
I thought you'd stay here, always be by my side
Why did I believe?
You said you'd never go, always be down to ride
[Verse 2]
My vision blurred, missin' her in the worst way
The splitting words, slipping worth but the hurt stays
The song names, long days seem to curse me
I'm always all daze when the verse plays
Remember? The first date, December birthdays
The white lies, night skies when we first laid
Under moonlight, yea the mood right
We slow jammed, slow danced to a new height
Remember? The times just wanting to call
On the phone, staying up, saying nothing at all
Left me something in awe when I recall, it was sweet bliss
Cuz with each kiss, I was speechless
Remember? How it used to be?
It was you and me, but now I truly see
That it's all gone wrong, every day is a test
And ain't nothing seem right since the day that you left, girl
[Hook x4]
Why did you leave?
I thought you'd stay here, always be by my side
Why did I believe?
You said you'd never go, always be down to ride
