I guess I forget the reason I left you

Did you leave the milk on the counter?

Could you make a list of the things that I hated

Don’t include the sweet, just the sour

Could you remind why I needed some space?

I think it was that week in December

Was it the way that we walked a different pace

I really just can't seem to remember

Can’t recall the feelings I just know they were there

Can’t recall the heartache I just know it was there

Can’t avoid the thought that I left way too soon

Was it that you could have said I love you?

Oo, (sometimes it gets hard) sometimes it gets hard

(when I let down my guard) when I let down my guard

Get worried that I jumped ship too early

(I blocked out of view) I blocked out of view, (the essence of you) Essence of you, lost it somewhere in my mind

Would you drive my memory? Would you take me back?

Did you leave your clothes on the floor too many times?

Tryin’ to prime this old rusty heart

I can’t seem to restart or stop it from it breakin’ apart

Can’t recall the feelings I just know they were there

Can’t recall the heartache I just know it was there

Can’t avoid the thought that I left way too soon

Was it that you couldn’t say 'I love you'?

Sometimes (sometimes it gets hard) it gets hard

(when I let down my guard)

When I really sit and think about it

(get worried that I jumped ship way too soon) that I let you go too soon

(I blocked out of view) I block out of view (the essence of you)

Every little thing about you (lost it somewhere in my mind)

I caution anyone up here in this place, from makin’ choices for the heart you can’t seem to explain

If your mind is playin’ tricks and you just want to escape

Take a moment, think it through before you throw it away

Sometimes (sometimes it gets hard), I can’t recall the feeling (when I let down my guard, get worried that I jumped ship too early) but I know it was there, oh

(I blocked out of view) I blocked out of view (the essence of you) every thing that we went through, hey (lost it somewhere in my mind)

(Oh, sometimes it gets hard)

Sometimes (when I let down my guard) hey

(Get worried that I jumped ship too early

I blocked out of view, the essence of you) essence of you

(lost it somewhere in my mind)
