Nostalgic Regret
When my clothes smell like smoke
It reminds me of you
When I want to throw up
It reminds me of you
It's true you weren't perfect
And it's true we fought all the time
And I guess I drove you out of your mind
When I hear something break
It reminds me of you
When I make a mistake
It reminds me of you
So you were far from perfect
And I gave you hell all the time
But there was often love between the lines
When I slam on the brakes
It reminds me of you
And I crash anyway
It reminds me of you
Well I tried to be perfect
It didn't work, so I tried to be good
And failed miserably
So I just did what I could
You were mine before I knew it
You wanted me in return and I complied
Only in retrospect can I see it was a lie
When I think of making love
It reminds me of you
When I want to be touched
I almost always think of you
It's not that I didn't love you, girl
You just wanted too much
It's not that I didn't care for you
You just wanted too much
It's not that you didn't deserve it all
I just did not have that much
Still I know that I could have been better to you
I know now I hurt you and I knew it then too
I won't lie
When my clothes smell like smoke it reminds me of you
It reminds me of you
When I want to throw up
It reminds me of you
It's true you weren't perfect
And it's true we fought all the time
And I guess I drove you out of your mind
When I hear something break
It reminds me of you
When I make a mistake
It reminds me of you
So you were far from perfect
And I gave you hell all the time
But there was often love between the lines
When I slam on the brakes
It reminds me of you
And I crash anyway
It reminds me of you
Well I tried to be perfect
It didn't work, so I tried to be good
And failed miserably
So I just did what I could
You were mine before I knew it
You wanted me in return and I complied
Only in retrospect can I see it was a lie
When I think of making love
It reminds me of you
When I want to be touched
I almost always think of you
It's not that I didn't love you, girl
You just wanted too much
It's not that I didn't care for you
You just wanted too much
It's not that you didn't deserve it all
I just did not have that much
Still I know that I could have been better to you
I know now I hurt you and I knew it then too
I won't lie
When my clothes smell like smoke it reminds me of you
