When You Think Of Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Feels like a disrespectful oversimplification
To say we wanted different things
To brush it off with an explanation
Like attachment 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Feels like a disrespectful oversimplification
To say we wanted different things
To brush it off with an explanation
Like attachment 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
You were my everything
Maybe that's part of the problem
But I wouldn't change a thing
Not from the moment it started
[Chorus]
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?
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
[Bridge]
You were my everything
Maybe that's part of the problem
But I wouldn't change a thing
Not from the moment it started
[Chorus]
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?
