Story Behind The Song
There is a man in my past who, if circumstances were different and we wanted the same things out of life, I would have married in a heartbeat. He does not know it, but this song is for him.
Song Description
A song about lost love....not "the one who got away" but "the one I had to let go of". Feeling the heartbreak of going from close and intimate to feeling like strangers who don't talk anymore after a breakup.

Lyrics
Verse 1: We're not strangers, that's a lie
Can't you look me in the eye, now?
You were mine for quite a while
It's on my sleeve, how do you hide?
Chorus: (Just so you knowww) I wanted to laugh with you for life
(Just so you knowww) In another world, I'd be your wife
(Just so you knowww) I'll move on when my tears are dry
(Just so you knowww) I'm still game for one more try
Just so you know, oh whoa oh oh, just so you know
Just so you know, oh whoa oh oh, just so you know
Just so you know
Verse 2: Thought I wore it pretty well
Pack it up, so no one can tell, now
Just how hard I really fell
One look at you, I'm overwhelmed
Chorus
Bridge: I still wear your jewelry
Keep secrets in my diary
Too many things remind me
In this dark room
No one's measured up to you
You're colored in a rose hue
Gotten close with just a few
Is my time soon?
Chorus (x2)
