lyrics

I wrote you a letter from the city, but I couldn't even find a stamp
Even if I tried to send it, would I get a letter back?
Too many miles in between us, even when I’m lying in your bed
And I cannot stand the silence, with these words stuck in my head

Here's a song to remember
All those things you're trying to forget
Because when I said I love you
That’s exactly what I meant

Throwing that old picture to the furnace, cause even flames can’t warm your heart
Every time I tried to hold on, it would all just fall apart

Here's a song to remember
All those things you're trying to forget
Because when I said I love you
That’s exactly what I meant

So I tear this old letter to pieces, and let it blow out of my hand
As this train just keeps on rolling, to another distant land
And I try so hard not to miss you, you’ll pretend you didn’t see me go
Tears will fill your eyes each moment, you hear this song on the radio

Here's a song to remember
All those things you're trying to forget
Because when I said I love you
That’s exactly what I meant

Because when I said I love you
That’s exactly what I meant
