LYRICS
A note by the door
Simply explains
It's all that remains
It's no wonder why
I have not slept in days
The dust on the floor
Piled up from the years
All those scars and souvenirs
Now that you're gone
It's easy to see
But so hard to believe
By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me
It's not like before
You left nothing here
It's all disappeared
It hurts me to see
That we've been a lie
Would it have hurt you to try?
By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me
It's sad to say that
This pain is killing me inside
But it's time to say
That this pain is keeping me alive
Twisting and turning
It rips through my heart
It's been tearing me apart
By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me
All i think about now
Is you and me
You and me
All i think about now
Is you and me
You and me
By the way
By the way
By the way

[@daltonevans3412]

Yeah, contrary to popular belief, time does not heal all wounds. Some stay with you forever. It's been 10 years for me, and i still dream of her every single night, hating myself for blowing up the only good thing i've ever had in my life all because i didn't know how to exist in the calm she brought. I was born and raised in chaos and my life has been chaos every day since, and while it sucks, i'm used to it, learned to live within the chaos and i'm good at it, so i didn't know how to just sit and enjoy the calm she brought so i destroyed things with drugs and instigating pointless fights just so i could feel back in the chaos. I will forever regret hurting her the way i did and i wished i realized what i just said before it was too late.

[@zilki1986]

This song is like a spear to my heart sometimes , the only girl i ever loved left me after 2 years without saying a single word , she just vanished and didn't give a damn how it will effect me. for me that backstabbing moment made me super suspicious toward every1 , even today I can't completely trust any woman so I try to make an effort to act as if I'm 100% opened toward her . You put your heart on the table and get screwed , people are not what they seem to be , dishonesty is a killer cause once you discover the true face of some1 you loved more than anything you will never be the same

[@bunnyhug4365]

Roee fdsfsadsas Grow a nutsack and move on. Life is too damn short to be tied down to one bitch anyway. My advice to you as a 31 year old man: stay single, find yourself a fuck buddy with no strings; that way you aren't obligated to spend time or money on her, you can hang out with friends without answering to someone or having her blow your phone up all night. You can spend your money on anything you want without having to explain yourself. If you meet a bad bitch, you can fuck her and not have to worry about cheating. It's just so much better, bro.
