How It Had Been
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought that you'd forgotten me
And it's plain to see why
And i won't pretend to be
Not at all angry or try not to cry
So, forgive me if i just let it out
And, believe me i won't mean to shout
But i need! oh! i need.
Oh i need to
I must say it's not been fun
And more than a little dumb for too long
They say that time heals everything
But i think that's a bunch of shit
Oh, how they're wrong
So, forgive me if i just let it out
And believe me i won't mean to shout
If you read me than just let me spout off
But i need! oh! i need.
Ooohhhh i need to
And i hope you can recall the love from before it all
Even though i know it'll never again
Be how it had been
And i want you to know now i miss you even more
For i know, it'll never again
Be how it had been
So, forgive me if i just let it out
And believe me i won't mean to shout
If you read me than just let me spout off
If you still need me, don't make me walk out
And know it's silly of me that i might still pout
But i need
Oh… i need
Oh… i need to
