about

I wrote this song in February 2009 about a long distance relationship that had long since ended by this point, but because I was an Angsty Teen (TM) at the time, heyyy seed idea~

lyrics

There was a time when she used to be mine
Every day
She loved me for the man that I am
In a way she was divine

This girl was close to me in every way
And that's a fact
But when she got on that train
I knew, yes, I knew I lost something dear

And I'm missin' you every day
And dreaming of you is all I can do
Oh, I never should've let you go
No, I should have never let you go

In my dreams I kept her alive
Forever mine
I see her face looking back at me
From the other side

I ran so far through the clouds
To get to her
Tried her best to run to me
But she disappeared as she was only a dream

And I'm missin' you every day
And dreaming of you is all I can do
No, I never should've let you go
No, I should have never let you go

We were such good friends
You and me, baby
From the day we met 'til the day you left
What I wouldn't give to be with you again
If only this weren't a dream

I hope this message gets to you
Soon, my love
I want to see your face once more time
Before I die

Cuz I'm missin' you every day
And dreaming of you is all I can do
No, I never should've let you go
No, I should have never let you go, no, no, no

I'm missin' you every day
And dreaming of you is all I can do
No, I never should've let you go

No, I should have never let you go
No, I should have never let you go
No, I should have never let you go
No, I should have never let you go
