Kayleigh (Single Edit) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you remember
Chalk hearts melting on a playground wall?
Do you remember
Dawn escapes from moon washed college halls?
Do you remember
The cherry blossom in the market square?
Do you remember
I thought it was confetti in our hair?

[Pre-Chorus]
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine

[Chorus]
Kayleigh, is it too late to say I'm sorry?
And, Kayleigh, could we get it together again?
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh, I never thought I'd miss you
And, Kayleigh, I thought that we'd always be friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Do you remember
Barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars?
Do you remember
Loving on the floor in Belsize Park?
Do you remember
Dancing in stilettos in the snow?
Do you remember
You never understood I had to go?

[Pre-Chorus]
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine

[Chorus]
Kayleigh, I just want to say I'm sorry
But, Kayleigh, I'm too scared to pick up the phone
To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home
Kayleigh, I'm still tryna write that love song
Kayleigh, it's more important to me, now you're gone
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or it'll prove that I was wrong

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
