Song Lyrics

I don't need another long talk
About what's wrong with you and me
And I don't need another conversation
About the way we're supposed to be
Now I see that you're gone
And I don't believe that everything
I have to get over you

How could you make me love you and then just walk away
Like you never did a thing to lead me on in any kind of way
How could you make me feel so helpless every day
From the path you laid before me
These are things I collected along the way

[Chorus:]
I got tears in my ears sometimes and I got a bad case of sleep last night
And I got holding you on my mind and I try to think of ways I can get you back all the time
Oh baby, that's a lot of weight to carry every day
But these are things I collected along the way

Everytime I think about it I hate it in every way
Said I thought I couldn't live without you
But I live with it every day
Never thought I'd see the day that you would ever leave
But now I'm here sifting through memories

How could you make me love you and then just walk away
Like you never did a thing to lead me on in any kind of way
How could you make me feel so helpless every day
From the path you laid before me
These are things I collected along the way

[Chorus: Repeat 3X]
