[Chorus]
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember the good times
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember
[Verse 1]
One random Tuesday night
One swipe right
Girl looking like a snack
Asked her "could I get a bite"
Went out once to get dinner
It was great
Ton of laughs
Do I like this girl? I might
Single date turned twice, thrice
Then a number beyond sight
On the same page, same pace
Same strokes, from different folks
Read my mind, line for line
Were the same you would write
We'd go out on the town, obnoxious, weird, loud and proud
I'd catch your eyes
And the whole world would fade from focus
Time would stand still
Connection made of stone
My diamond, so precious
Foolish and infatuated was our modus operandi
Thought about you every day
Not one slipped by
How could we know the plan of the universe?
One day we'd both be saying three words
Two months, a few emotional bumps
Life got tough, road got dark
But that wasn't enough
We stayed together, thought perhaps forever
No one could say different, not even my own mother
Decided to start a life with each other and plant a seed
Became two branches on the same oak tree
Both growing up but in different directions
When the water gets rough it's hard to see your own reflection
[Chorus]
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember the good times
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember (I swear to remember)
[Verse 2]
You were there for me on the hardest day of my life
You were there for me the day my best friend died
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, I cried
Every single moment you were right by my side
Helped keep my head in the clouds
So I could be closer to Him
Told me he'd be proud, life is tragic, this is not finn
I heard it sometimes
You told me often
When facing problems remember you're as tall as them
You can rise about detriment can never mend
Progress doesn't always mean moving forward
Stepping back or sideways still takes courage
I was broken and hopeless
Lost in life, without focus
Defeat on repeat, time after time
The others come a dozen for a dime
I wouldn't be here without you
Kept me strong through days when I didn't know what I might do
Kept me strong through night when I thought my life was through
Gave me so much strength that I never knew what I took from you
Love is a two-lane road
But I was so intoxicated
Seein' my life as passion wasted and procrastinated
That I was swerving across the dotted lines
I didn't let you catch up
And I didn't know to look behind
[Chorus]
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember the good times
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember (I swear to remember)
[Verse 3]
A year has passed
The many mistakes and beautiful memories are in the past
I said I was sorry, said I would do better, said I would try harder, said I would love louder, but that didn't last
Still you stood beside me
Kept your chin up, had hope for what might be
I started to question what I was doing
What I could be doing
What I should be
Who I could be
What am I, I am this why, change began when?
What happens then?
Is she the one?
Are we done?
Is this still fun?
What have I done?
I always run
Can't see beauty when your mind is in the dark
Looking for yourself and a sense of control
Fighting through this life with your blindside to the sidelines
Focused on one goal
We both have problems
Mine at the top, yours at the bottom
I never stopped
Only gave you solutions without soul thinking they would fit
Needed compassion, but I didn't wanna deal with it
Gave you pats on the back and said to fire back
The world's a battlefield you need to stay on the attack
Should've been my wife, didn't deserve to be your husband
Turns out I'm the dime in the dozen
[Chorus]
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember the good times
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember (I swear to remember)
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember the good times
I love you, but this is goodbye
I swear to remember (I swear to remember)
