Reminiscing You, Reminiscing Me, Reminiscing Us
Looking back at our past and the things we did togetherI break down and cry, because I thought we'd last forever
You're the woman, but you're stronger than I am
I'm the man, but I'm absolutely weaker than you are
I'm supposed to be the brave one that nothing ever hurts
- Not even the fleeting pains of a broken, irreparable heart -
How did I ever turn out to be the puppet on your string
I should be the one who breaks innocent loving hearts
But I'm the one whose heart has been torn into shreds
I'm the one who has shed our tears – you always look happy
You wear a beautiful face all over the places you go
Pretending nothing is wrong – like we never ever met
Or perhaps we never felt the flames of desire burn between us
I thought you said we shared the same body chemistry
I thought you said our compatibility was unrivalled
What happened to all those words – how did we ever part
I thought you said you love him and that you're in love with me
I thought you said you find happiness and security with me
I thought you said you find freedom and total expression
Whenever you're curled up in my arms – whenever we spoke
Am I no longer the same man who made you choke
What word can I use to tell you how empty I feel now
What greater word can express the love I still have for you
I don't care if you're seeing someone else – I still want you
You're the only one who made me feel like a baby
Whenever you growled, I find myself barking back at you
I remember all the times you wound your arms around me
Inside the kitchen as I washed those dishes – in the bathroom
As I shaved my beards – I can still see your face in that mirror
When I inch forward to kiss your lips, I only see my lip print
I only see streak of tears coursing down my sad face
Reminiscing every single and crazy thing we ever did together
