When You Think Of Me

Feels like a disrespectful oversimplification

To say we wanted different things

To brush it off with an explanation

Like attachments styles and timing

You were my everything

Maybe that’s part of the problem

But I wouldn’t change a thing

Not from the moment it started

When you think of me

Are you settin’ fire to every memory?

And do you believe

What doesn’t last forever don’t mean anything?

‘Cause I swear I loved you fully

And I'm sorry not for stayin’ who we thought I’d be

When you think of me

Am I just another man who leaves?

Just another man who leaves

I hate myself for hurting you, but it would make it worse to fix it

I wish I’d figured out a way of keepin’ myself in it

‘Cause I meant to be the man you were standin’ with

Not another tally line to justify your fear of abandonment

And I hate how I lived up to your worst fears

Makes it worse how it worked so well for three years

And it could all be for the best in the end

But for now, it feels like losin’ my best friend

When you think of me

Are you settin’ fire to every memory?

And do you believe

What doesn’t last forever don’t mean anything?

‘Cause I swear I loved you fully

And I'm sorry not for stayin’ who we thought I’d be

When you think of me

Am I just another man who leaves?

Just another man who leaves

You were my everything

Maybe that’s part of the problem

But I wouldn’t change a thing

Not from the moment it started

When you think of me

Are you settin’ fire to every memory?

And do you believe

What doesn’t last forever don’t mean anything?

‘Cause I swear I loved you fully

And I'm sorry not for stayin’ who we thought I’d be

When you think of me

Am I just another man who leaves?
