we cant be together



it was good to hear you calling out my name
but its still hard to not cry when i see your face
we been through alot of ups and downs
but it still hurts to know that i cant have you around
i hope that she loves you with all of her heart
and she never knows what it feels like when you fall apart
cause trying to hold on to someone that cant be tamed
is so hard that it drives you insaine
i have no nice words to say to you besides
thank you for your goodbye
i used to stay up all night
wondering if what i did to love you was right
now i sleep like a baby
knowing that you missed and cant replace me
i heard the pain in your voice when you called my name
i didnt turn around cause i knew i would feel the same way
 i knew i couldnt turn around cause i didnt want to remember
everything that happend when we were together
it all comes and goes like a bad dream
but it was good to hear you calling for me
and it felt good to hear the pain in your voice
but we have to live with our choice
i hope you remember what we had
and it eats at you till you go mad
i hope you remember who we both were
and remember why we cant be together
