I Remember

Thinking of you all night long
'Cause I heard all about us in a famous song
Only some of the words were wrong
You're not here
And I'm not that strong

When everybody else has gone to sleep
I have only myself to keep
I go inside my head too deep
I tell myself no more
But that precipice is steep

I want to fade away, but it's not true
It's all OK when I remember you
I'd like to take it back a year or two
I've learned from my mistakes
So I'd know what not to do

I remember when your cat ran away
I remember you were sad that day
I remember phone calls with you
I remember not telling you
I remember your first date with him
I remember how I envied him
I remember silent jealousy
I remember notes you gave to me
I remember reading by tree light
I remember how you looked that night
I remember driving out to Hell
I remember you very well

Who am I supposed to find?
Anyone but me
Who am I supposed to love?
Love, are you crazy?

I never seem to get too near
It may be some intrinsic fear
I'll always think of you, it's clear
But you're not here
And I miss you, dear

The time has passed now, it's a shame
No one's at fault, no one's to blame
No wind can blow out this flame
And the more things change
The more they stay the same
