It doesn’t seem like long ago 
 We traded hearts and I was sold 
 To the girl I thought I loved 
 But two years later I gave up 
 But that’s just a story that we tell 
 The way it happened felt like hell 
 And back to this day I’m still confused 
    I swear it was last night 
 You were in my dreams 
 I swear it was yesterday 
 That you were the one keeping me 
 From doing all the things 
 I know I shouldn’t be 
 But that was the best thing that ever happened to me 
 Cause I learned a lot about myself 
 And I learned to shut my mouth 
 If I’ve got nothing good to say at all   
 I hope you understand that this comes from my heart 
 I hope you’re happy now 
 I hope that you’ll go far 
 You’re a sweet, sweet girl 
 And I put you through a lot 
 Looking back I know what you meant 
 When you said you care 
 When you said you care   
 And lately I know I’ve been scared to say 
 The words I love you 
 So I avoid it when I can 
 And work on trying to fix this 
 Gaping hole you left inside me 
 It’s not easy to repair 
 But either way I wish you well 
 Just know that I am always there for you   
 I hope you understand that this comes from my heart 
 I hope you’re happy now 
 I hope that you’ll go far 
 You’re a sweet, sweet girl 
 And I put you through a lot 
 Looking back I know what you meant 
 When you said you care 
 When you said you care   
 I hope you understand that this comes from my heart 
 I hope you’re happy now 
 I hope that you’ll go far
