Lyrics

I know it seems, a little unlike me
Its been a year, but I'm still not where I belong
Losing one can break the strong, darling
You're in my dreams, it happens almost nightly
But you're not here, and the truth is that I had it wrong
Thinking you would stay, so long, hardly

No one's reactions match our chemistry
But now we're just a memory (a memory)
A memory

If we weren't meant to be,
Then why's it still so hard for me?
You told me this was for the best, but I'm still a mess
Even though my heart is numb,
I hate the way that I've become
Without you life's just not the same
You put out our flame, Holly

So think it through, lets clear up some confusion
I'm still unsure how you got past this without regret
Tell me how you could forget, about us
I've seen a few, but ended in seclusion
So what's the cure, to take chances with those I've met
'Cause lately they've been all a threat, to my trust

Since then I've felt all this uncertainty
It's lasting an eternity
(eternity)
Please return to me

If we weren't meant to be,
Then why's it still so hard for me?
You told me this was for the best, but I'm still a mess
Even though my heart is numb,
I hate the way that I've become
Without you life's just not the same
You put out our flame
Holly, Holly, no

I miss you so much
I miss you so much
You don't understand
You won't understand

Was I a stupid mistake?
A foolish choice that you made
If that wasn't the case
Then why couldn't you stay?
As my pain has grown
You'll never know
Of the price I've paid
As I've watched you fade away
No one compares

If we weren't meant to be,
Then why's it still so hard for me?
You told me this was for the best, but I'm still a mess
Even though my heart is numb,
I hate the way that I've become
Without you life's just not the same
You put out our flame

You don't know what love is
If you know what love is
Tell me what it feels like to make a heart split open
You don't know what love is
If you know what love is
Tell me how you sleep at night when my heart is broken

You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
