lyrics

Remember the time we ended up happy
You said now that you have me, you'll never leave me
We were better than the best
And worse than the worst
But never in-between

We made a promise that we would be married
And began to make plans for the rest of our lives
Then one afternoon headed back up Route 2
You were hit by a car and died on the scene

Since you're not and never will be here
I make up imaginary futures for us
If I'd gone left at that road
Than maybe you would be something to me
Besides revisionist history

Remember the time we let it all happen
I lost half of my heart and all of my soul in the process
But now there was no turning back for me
All that remained was the husk of who I used to be
And the one that I left drank himself half to death
And soon after we made something we couldn't keep

And that's when you grew to hate me
That's when I was a sight not worth seeing
And that's when none of it mattered at all
Because that's when I lost the baby

Since you're not and never will be here
I make up imaginary futures for us
If I'd gone left at that road
Than maybe you would be something to me
Besides revisionist history

Remember the time we traveled the country
And my songs paid the bills,
All I had to do was to sing
And I knew I had gotten everything I'd ever wanted
But there's always something

All my life, you'd been my muse
And now I finally had you
But as soon as you got close,
The words just stopped
And so did the songs
And I never wrote another single one
