[Verse 1: Alphacat]
I remember it like it was yesterday, the day we met
Came to your hotel, knocked on your door
I had bu*terflies and hadn't met you yet
Then oh my god like Fourth of July how them sparks flew
I loved your energy, you loved the way I looked at you
We laughed for hours like it was what we were meant to do
Destiny, right place right time when I'm sitting there right next to you
We laughed all night at nothing and loved each others jokes
People swore we were high, but neither one of us smokes
A connection so insane, we sat at P.F Chang's
Asked you to be my girlfriend, I swear my heart was engulfed in flames
Remember you told that I made you feel like you never wanna die
And I looked in your eyes, and said I felt the same
Never before I had been so sure I had found the one
Writing was on the wall...man I was smitten
Holding your hand shyly as if I needed permission
Cupid was a rabid dog and trust me I had been bitten
4 years later we got a place, a car
Careers are budding and we both in our own rights have become stars
Waited months while you toured like faithful puppy dog
Supporting your career yeah I miss you, but go get em doll
Then you came home acting kinda different
Kinda cold, kinda distant
I chalked up to all the travel and maybe all of the distance
But you remained persistent with your sudden indifference
She said I think I need some space, I'm not sure
I said you were gone for two months my love, what could you possibly need space for?
Something wasn't right, so I began to pry
She got mad and exclaimed, "Look I told you there's no other guy"
But nothing made sense and none of it was adding up
As my guy was going wild and my boiled and I felt flush
She finally fessed up
I had feelings for another guy but I swear that it was just a crush
I'm thinking that guy?
Are you sure?
The security guard I met on your bus during the U.S tour?
She said that's not the point, I think our flame died
And I think your feelings changed, I thought who told you that?
Somebody lied
She told me things could've told me many months ago
That was wrong. Like acid misinformation burned a hole
She nit picked with quick quips that hurt like razors
Told her everything she said combined still weren't deal breakers
I told her you have way more gumption
It's so damaging to not communicate and sit and then just make a**umptions
She said I can't help how I feel
I said are you for real?
Relationships take work, look love, that's just part of the deal
Didn't think that things were over, I had my hopes up
I thought that she would come around and we could both just patch it up
But I was crushed, yeah my heart bled
To see you sleep back turned as far as you could to your side of the bed
Under the premise that things weren't finished
Most people would blow a fuse, I took it in stride, said "Let's wash off the blemish"
But you were checked out and it happened so quick
Cold turkey on 4 years, that's one hell of a magic trick
Noticed you barely kiss or touch me
You hated when I told you that your lack of actions really made me feel ugly
I asked her what I did wrong
She said "Nothing at all"
Stuck to her point of needing space then headed home to Montreal
Came back weeks later things still up in the air
Knew I was losing her and it felt so unfair
Still spent Christmas together, hoped things would get better
Talked it out cried at time, but still cuddled and laughed together
I came back home, she stayed, I prayed
God please bring her to me one day
Then the moment came when we spoke on Skype
You said it was over and you were moving on with your life
That's when it hit like a ton of bricks all the pain and the sadness
Is she really leaving?
This is madness
It seemed to happen so sudden it really messed me up
Like a flipped coin I just wished that I had a heads up
Feeling robbed, I sobbed till no more tears came out me
She was my breath so when she left naturally it knocked the wind up out me
I'd sit and hypothesize all the reasons why
And couldn't shake an overwhelming need to apologize
Wake up in a panic and reach for your side of the bed
Hoping to talk, but realizing you are no longer there
Ignoring Skype and my calls
Shock to my system cause in 4 years you had never done that at all
They say there's 7 stages of grief, but I swear that there's more
Cause I'm stuck somewhere between 2, 3 and 4
It's distorted, but the connections still
Both of us tweeting at the same time about nightmares
I never thought we'd fall
It's a strange feeling to envy another couple that looks like they both got it all
Think the gra** is greener?
You should've watered your lawn
I'm sorry, I know, I should've worked harder on Iman
Never checked out on you
I'm stuck wondering where these incidentals came from
Cause this list is a strange one
A bad dream? Man, it has to be
That it all ended on the same month as our 4 year anniversary
I told you something I never told you before
A year ago I wanted to walk out of the door, simply cause you were on tour
Hard not to feel lonely you were so busy
But I don't fault you for that you deserve success to the stars and back
Seeing your face on Skype always made me feel better
My heart would thump like, 'come on Iman, pull it together'
I stack the reasons why I loved you and that list soared
You were worth more than me leaving simply cause I was bored
Seeking fulfillment in the wake of your absence
But I can't find it or grasp it it's like illegal to have it like real absinthe
All the king's horses and the king's men
Found a shattered heart is difficult to mend
But I thank my friends
For snatching me out of the house
You need to sleep, you need to eat here have a drink, Iman
Let's go out and then party it out
My heart swears that forever is what we're meant to do
My logic shrugs and say's 'Look, she's just not that into you'
All the reminders of our history
Frames facing down like all our pictures all depressed with me
Fairytale love turned toxic
Once in a lifetime memories pried apart and then reduced to separate boxes
To me it was never an option
To get this far away from the days when you and I were ring shopping
I'm only so hurt cause you were one of a kind
Your choice to leave is fine, that's life, now I gotta get back to mine
I refused to stay stifled
My head spun so much that it was draining
Like washed clothes in a spin cycle
I fought for us in a time when my thoughts were hard to sort
Why ain't you fight when the ball was in your court
Getting my strength back and it's like learning to walk again
Cause my heart to me is like long hair was to Samson
I prayed like Christ "let this cup pa** from me" cause it's stress
I hold the cup well, but I spit it all when I drunk text
This is a lot of emotion, oh wow
I'm sorry ya'll
I just miss her tilted smile
And I'm sorry for saying I wish I never met you
I was just hurt
You were above and beyond something special
Actors we draw from experiences to make a scene true
That acting scene I did, the mannequin was you
They say the one who got away can hurt
But what I've learned is the one that walks away can hurt worse
Picking up the pieces not really sure where to get started
Mornings and nights are the hardest
They say the length a relationship lasted
It'll take half that time to truly get over and past it
How you left is my only gripe
It felt like someone died and I'll never understand why didn't fight
But, all that talent, I know you'll go out and wow them all
And when you do, for you, I promise I'm still gonna stand and applaud
How much I loved you, only you, I and the
[Choir]
Lord knows
[Outro]

God damn you b**h you never backed away from anything in your life, now fight!
Right now!
Do it!
Fight, goddamnit!
