[Hook: D-tin]
All I have are these memories
Why did you have to leave me?
[Verse 1: D-tin]
One minute you're here, the next minute you're gone
And I heard through the grapevine that you were gone all along
I miss you every second, and I regret that decision
But I signed it all in pen, so there's no chance for a revision
I was looking through my closet to find a shirt to wear
And I found the one you bought for me for Bonnaroo, and I swear
That a tear came to my eye, remembering the times
That we had got along, now I'm writing these rhymes
About how I miss you, and how we used to be
And about how I'm sitting here dwelling on these memories
Because that's all that I have to remember you by
Now I'm on my knees, praying and asking why
Why bless me with someone and then take her away
And then curse me to cry over her every single day
At least I have the memories of when we used to smile
The times that I miss, cuz they were all worthwhile
[Hook: D-tin]
All I have are these memories
Why did you have to leave me?
[Verse 2: D-tin]
Do you remember the message that you sent to me that night?
You told me how you felt about me, and seeing that was such a sight
That I couldn't let it go, it was burned into my brain
Unfortunately you never acted like that again
It must've been the Aderol causing you to speak
The things I wanted to here and making my defenses weak
Cuz you were the first girl that I loved, I'll preach it loud and proud
But if I wanted to love you, then you said you'd be out
And I didn't want to lose you, so I chose to move on
Yet even to this day, somewhere the feelings aren't gone
You can't move on completely, but you can push it back and forget
But the one thing that can't be erased is the first day that we met
I thought that from that moment we would be friends forever
Looking at it now, I must've not been that clever
Now you want nothing to do with me and I understand why
I completely understand if you want me to die
[Hook: D-tin]
All I have are these memories
Why did you have to leave me?
[Verse 3: D-tin]
You were the greatest friend I've ever had, but I wasn't the same
If you see me the same way she did then I'm the one to blame
You never hurt me once, I hurt myself over you
That's why everyone else thought it would be best if we both were through
But there were more good times than bad that we had spent together
Riverbend, Bonnaroo and three and a half years that'll last forever
Because I'll always remember every second of it all
From January of two thousand ten to the moment that we hit the wall
How could I forget the girl that's helped me through so much
And has caused me to cry for her, because my heart she's touched
I'll keep you in my heart, for as long as I can
Eternity sounds good, yepp, so that'll be the plan
I even told you happy birthday every single year at twelve
Happy late eighteenth birthday, now it's time to put it on the shelf
I miss you unconditionally, but it's time to say goodbye
All I have left are these memories, but I'll treasure them until I die
[Hook: D-tin]
All I have are these memories
Why did you have to leave me?
