I still remember it all

• Written by 

Would've, could've, should've, words bouncing in my head
Hypothetically wondering, did I have to more?
Asking myself unanswerable questions, believing in lore
You would love me forever, at least that's what you swore
 
It's been a long, long time since we broke up
In the empty parking lot as the rain fell
It was supposed to be fun turning twenty-one
But now I'm all alone with my thoughts
 
It was cold outside as I held your hand
Watching the dry leaves fall from the trees
And then I told you: "I wish this would never end."
And you answered with: "It doesn't have to."
 
Oh, you were quite convincing and I was quite the fool
As you picked me up and then you went ahead and used me as a tool
I let you take me to places I have never seen before
Because I was so convinced that you were the one
 
And I saw the "Welcome to New York" sign as we headed home
In your dad's old pickup truck and
Remember when we picked up apples in upstate?
I still remember it all
 
We played Sparks Fly on repeat as you looked at me
Almost running the red light in the process
And I giggled and blushed as I kicked my feet
While some old rom-com was playing on the TV
 
I tried so hard to make things work
But you were still leaving space for her
And I sat on the stairwell looking at my phone
As the hours passed and you still weren't home
 
When you finally arrived at 2:30 A.M.
You smelled like a combination of vodka, weed and sex
But I didn't want to know it was true 'cause I didn't wanna lose you
And you took that for granted and went to bed and
 
I sat on the kitchen island with a plate of food
You sat next to me asked if it was "for me or for you?"
I was hungry, but I didn't want to sound rude
So I stood up and mumbled: "It's for you."
 
You never cared about how I felt or what I wanted
And I know some of these details aren't important
Remember how you gaslighted me at my best friends engagement party?
I still remember it all
 
And probably, most likely
When we turn thirty
I'll still feel something for you
Oh, I'm out here blue, what to do?
 
Friends come and go and the seasons change
But I'm still here where you left me babe
I don't wanna drive past that parking lot ever again
'Cause then all the memories come flooding back
 
I don't know if we got lost in translation or I asked for too much
Nor will I ever know why you suddenly wanted to break up
'Cause you kept me a secret, but I kept you like an oath
Because I swore to love you and protect you, but it didn't go both ways
 
They say all's well that ends well until it didn't at all
And I was risking losing my mind in the name of love
But then I always remember that one fateful fall
I still remember it all
 
And we don't talk much, so I guess things haven't changed
'Cause your lack of communication caused me some deep rage
And even though for some time I was just a girl you banged on your couch
I wanted something more, but you jumped up at the sound
 
'Cause I know you got commitment issues and I accept that
But every time you argue with me, I think I can fix you and that's a fact
And obviously you only break your favorite toys
You play with them, throw them away, then feel nostalgia for it, hey
 
And I didn't understand how after the breakup you were perfectly fine
As if you leaving me didn't shock you deeper than an earthquake
And although after all this time, I'm not even close to being alright
But I came to terms that you didn't love me, I still remember it all
 
So was it over then and is it over now?
Was it all for show in my big, blue ball gown?
Cause if the shoe didn't fit, would you have forced it?
Or would you just wait until midnight came?
 
If this were a movie, I would've rewritten the ending
So we'd be kissing in the rain as a love song played with the credits
And then the curtain would fall as a symbolism of how
We fell in love, I still remember it all
 
'Cause just how you won the girl, you lost her
Did you love me as a person or who I was back then?
Because people change and the feelings, too
And I guess that's just what happened to you
 
And people say I'm bitter and people say I'm jealous
Is it really my fault that I'm overzealous
To get a man back just for the feeling?
Just for the rush of an argument that'll leave me reeling?
 
I've been known to constantly act on instinct
And I don't think with my mind, I think with feelings
I promise you forever and always even though I can't give it
And I say empty promises in hopes you'll need it
 
I forgive, but I don't forget, and you can tell
Every time we fight, I tell you I still remember that one day
You appeared drunk, crashed my car and ran away
You think I'm dumb, you think you're smart, but I still remember it all
 
And probably, most likely
When we turn thirty
I'll still feel something for you
Oh, I'm out here blue, what to do?
 
Don't blame me for anything when all you have is yourself to blame
Pick up the phone instead of the controller 'cause this is not a game
I'm no damsel in distress, not someone that you can tame
But every time I feel sad, I go on my phone and look up your name
 
I can't believe
I'm back in the
Old habit
Of fallin', fallin'
 
Fallin' down
The rabbit hole
It's getting old
I know, ay no
 
I can't believe
I'm back in the
Old habit
Of fallin', fallin'
 
Fallin' down
The rabbit hole
It's getting old
I know, ay no
 
And probably, most likely
When we turn thirty
I'll still feel something for you
Oh, I'm out here blue, what to do?
