I still remember, it was late September

We had only just met in the back of class

You seemed a bit shy, I guess that's what I liked

We were friends at first I didn't know we'd be more than that

It was simple when we started, everything was so light hearted

I laughed at all your jokes but little did I know

Felt things I could never explain, smiled every time

I heard your name, I hoped to see your face wherever I'd go

And I remember the day on the train

I didn't plan for you to come but you did anyway

And the conversation went on forever

I swore that life could never get better

But you chose to leave and you took all the best parts of me

You learned everything about me

All my flaws and my history

And for the first time I felt like I could actually be me

Saw a new side of you too

You showed me the real you

I just wanted to make you see what I see

I would've done anything for you

Not a way I could ignore you, you were always on my mind

And I gave you all my time, all the times walking round the city

You always wanted to come with me, now everywhere I go is haunted by those nights

And I remember the day at your house

When all we did was talk for hours and hours

You told me bout your favorite songs

And we played board games all day long

Not knowing you'd leave and you'd take all the best parts

2 years go by of back and forth

Can't even remember what we're fighting for

But I thought it was love and I thought you were the one

Said you loved me that December night

Now it kills me to think that it was a lie cause

I thought you and I were, once in a lifetime

Now I remember the time

In late September I thought you could be mine

And even my mother yeah she knew

That I was going out of my mind for you

Cause I remember the day you told me about your nightmares

And I promised you no matter what I’d always be there

But all that meant nothing to you when you left without giving me a clue of what I did wrong

But I should’ve known all along

Cause I remember when you'd ignore me in the hallway

Wondering what I did wrong would leave me crying for days

But I let you hurt me all those times cause I couldn’t risk you saying goodbye

But you still chose to leave and you took all the best parts of me

The best part of me

Why'd you ever leave?

You took the best part of me

You took the best part of me
