Lyrics
Tensions mounting topics hot, as we battle to win the last word
Numb from screaming the other's wrong, we don't even feel the hurt.
What happened to the peace that came from being ourselves...
Together, that was all we'd need.
Where did we go wrong for us to end up here...
Have you forgotten?
You're gonna remember why you love me
You're gonna remember why you need me
You're gonna remember why want me too
Too much taking... there's no give. We live together, though we're worlds apart.
Separate schedules, separate drives, and the stressors have hardened are hearts.
Did you forget that all I needed was to see you smile
And know that everything would be O.K. ?
I'm just a simple guy who's facing difficult times
Have you forgotten. . .
You will remember the way I look, and the way I talk,
And the way we laughed when we used to talk.
And you'd hold my hand. . . understand. . . Have you forgotten ?
You're gonna remember why you love me
You're gonna remember why you need me
You're gonna remember why want me too
