I ___________ that you're settled down
That you _________ a girl and you're __________ now
I ___________ that your dreams _________ true
Guess she ___________ you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, ___________
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had ___________ you'd see my face and that you'd be ___________
That for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you ___________
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday ___________ the time of our lives
We were born and ___________ in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, ___________
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had __________ you'd see my face and that you'd be ___________
That for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you ___________
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you ___________
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you ___________
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
