Verse 1:
I remember when we met for the first time
Almost had a heart-attack when I looked into your eyes
You had a smile that made me wanna die
Not knowing that's what you had been wishing on the inside
Wearing long sleeves to cover scars on your wrists
You grabbed a razor when the world made you feel like sh**
In that department I can only relate a little bit
But I know that I cared & I tried to help it
But you're an independent woman, you don't need no help
You pick out your clothes & put ‘em on by yourself
You take pictures with your friends & take trips to Philadelph
Oh, and you took our relationship & put it on your shelf
You like country music & I write down raps
Remember how great we felt waking up from that nap?
Remember we were texting all night & how I tried to win you back
How about me? Do even remember that?
And I've never said one bad word about you
Actually, I haven't stopped thinkin' about you
I just want to see you smile
I could be your plain white tee & you could be my Delilah
Chorus (John Merwarth):
If you come lay with me
We can write a symphony
You don't have to do it by yourself
If you would be my baby girl
Be the center of my world
You & I won't need no help
Verse 2:
Come lay with me and let time float away
I kiss you on the neck, and tell you I'll stay
I remember when we followed each other that day
You texted me a smile, I texted back winky face
And now I can't walk down through your hometown
Without feeling the same feelings that I once had around
Come back to the guy that loved you up & down
The guy that made smiles from all of your frowns
I can't take this pain any longer
I guess what didn't k** me, made YOU stronger
I might just go crazy if that thought is wrong
Because if you still loved me, I wouldn't need to write this song
I'll cook you breakfast, and buy you new shoes
Show you off to my friends or lay in bed, whichever you chose
It's like you turned the page & kept the book open
I'm not obsessed, I'm just heartbroken
Chorus (x2)
