Lyrics

Re mem ber when I cried

to you a thou sand times?

I told you ev ’ry thing;

you know my feel ings.

It nev er crossed my mind

that there would be a time

for us to say good bye.

What a big sur prise.

But I’m not lost;

I’m not gone.

I have n’t for got.

These feel ings I can’t shake no more; this feel ing’s run ning out the door.

I can feel it fall ing down, and I’m not com ing back a round.

These feel ings I can’t take no more.

This emp ti ness in the bot tom drawer is (Am7)get ting hard er to pre tend, and I’m not com ing back a round a gain.

Re mem ber when.

I re mem ber when it was to geth er ’til the end.

Now I’m a lone a gain;

where do I be gin?

I cried a lit tle bit,

but you died a lit tle bit.

Please say there’s no re grets,

and say you won’t for get.

But I’m not lost,

and I’m not gone.

I have n’t for got.

These feel ings I can’t shake no more; this feel ing’s run ning out the door.

I can feel it fall ing down, and I’m not com ing back a round.

These feel ings I can’t take no more.

This emp ti ness in the bot tom drawer is (Am7)get ting hard er to pre tend, and I’m not com ing back a round a gain

(F)hey en.

Re mem ber when

(F)hey en.

That was then; now, it’s the end; I’m not com ing back.

I can’t pre tend.

Re mem ber when

(F)hey en.

These feel ings I can’t shake no more; this feel ing’s run ning out the door.

I can feel it fall ing down, and I’m not com ing back a round.

These feel ings I can’t take no more.

This emp ti ness in the bot tom drawer is (Am7)get ting hard er to pre tend, and I’m not com ing back a round a gain.
