Is it weird that I still use you as my inspiration
Because you are the only one who ever made an impression
In the jumbled mess that I call a mind
There was something about your voice; it was so soft and kind
And in your eyes there were sparks of love
Your body must've been sent from above
Because, girl, it was kicking
Ha, I think I messed that up
But it doesn't matter because

You still run through my mind
Whenever I try to let go I cry
Because my heart knows where it belongs
But it's too late
You are long gone
Maybe if I was smarter
I could've worked a little harder
To keep you where you needed to be
To keep you right here with me

You have to know that it hurts
When you prance around with guys on your arm and try to flirt
Yeah I have a new girlfriend
But I'm afraid I'm going to compare her to you forever
And unfortunately she just doesn't measure
Up to the high standards left by you
Because through and through
She is no you

And you've got me singing

You still run through my mind
Whenever I try to let go I cry
Because my heart knows where it belongs
But it's too late
You are long gone
Maybe if I was smarter
I could've worked a little harder
To keep you where you needed to be
To keep you right here with me

Now I find myself all alone
Wishing that you were close
Both mentally and physically
Because without you I feel so empty
When she leaves you return to my head
Like a needle pulling thread
You make your loop through my brain
God, why can't things be the same
It’s driving me insane
Just remember that I try not to hurt you, truly,
I don't
Even though you were the one to desert me
Wishing to be free
Of the shackles that you called me

But just know

You still run through my mind
Whenever I try to let go I cry
Because my heart knows where it belongs
But it's too late
You are long gone
Maybe if I was smarter
I could've worked a little harder
To keep you where you needed to be
To keep you right here with me
