They say you'll forget about the boy who you first loved, but could've treated you better

And that time will heal the pain, moving on from a friend you've had forever

Guess I'll have to hurt in private

'Cause they don't know you the way I did

Said that years would help me forget

But it couldn't

'Cause for me to explain

How I think and how I love

Choices that I've made

Everyone I love had to know your name

Empty boxes just remind me of how thoughtful you were, I burned through so many letters

Changed the photos in the frames, but I swear, your reflections in those pictures

Followed everything that they said

Even got our past redacted

Lived like normal through your absence

But like was it?

'Cause for me to explain

How I think and how I love

Choices that I've made

'Cause for me to explain

How I think and how I love

Choices that I've made

Everyone I love had to know your name
