Lirik Lagu Don't You Remember

When will I see you again?

You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said

No final kiss to sell any sins

I had no idea of the state we were in

I know I have a fixle heart and a bitterness

And a waning eye, and a health in my head

But Don't You Remember?

Don't You Remember?

The reason you loved me before

Baby, please remember me once more

When was the last time you thought of me?

Or have you completely erased me from your memory?

I often think about where I went wrong

The more I do, the less I know

But I know I have a fixle heart and a bitterness

And a waning eye, and a health in my head

But Don't You Remember?

Don't You Remember?

The reason you loved me before

Baby, please remember me once more

Save you the space so you could breathe

I kept my distance so you would be free

And hoped that you'd find the missing piece

To bring you back to me

Why Don't You Remember?

Don't You Remember?

The reason you loved me before

Baby, please remember me once more

When will I see you again?
