I'm lying awake, thinking about things

Thinking you might be doing the same

It's probably been at least twenty years

Since the last time I've spoken your name

I don't drink like I did

I've got a couple of kids

I'm a better man now than you knew

But lots of regrets

Especially one about the way that I left things with you



And I don't want you back

I'm not asking for that

But I'm lying if I say I don't think about you sometimes

I just hate that I don't know how everything turned out

If you hear this song, would it kill you to drop me a line?

Because I hope that you're good now, that somebody loves you

And gives you the things that I just couldn't give you back then

You're a part of my story and I'm part of yours

So it's painful to think I might never hear your voice again



I'm not building it up

I know what it was

I think I even knew at the time

Because we wasn't kids

But we sure weren't adults

Well, we got to the end of some nights

It wasn't so long

A year and some change

But at times it could burn like a star

I just want you to know you're still on my mind

And when that goes, I'll still have the scars



And I don't want you back

I'm not asking for that

But I'm lying if I say I don't think about you sometimes

I just hate that I don't know how everything turned out

If you hear this song, would it kill you to drop me a line?

Because I hope that you're good now, that somebody loves you

And gives you the things that I just couldn't give you back then

You're a part of my story and I'm part of yours

So it's painful to think I might never hear your voice again
