Story Behind The Song
My wife before she met me had a boyfriend that treated her bad, so I eventually moved in. I later heard that he regretted letting her go, as she is obviously awesome. I put myself in his shoes when writing this song. I thought about how it must feel to

Lyrics
Verse 1
I still remember, but so much time's gone by you
How can I be for sure that the feeling's still right?
I need to call you but I can't find the words
Pre-chorus
All the promises I made are still ringing in my ears
And I can't take them back
Verse 2
I took you for granted
I thought you'd always be mine.
I never thought you'd slip away. If only I'd begged you to stay.
All the promises I made are still ringing in my ears
And I can't take them back.
Chorus
No this isn't what I wanted. No peace of mind...my soul's left incomplete
And can't you see me pleading? I'm lost without you...drifting aimlessly. Please forgive me.
Bridge
And I should have seen it coming, cuz' I'm empty and love's stolen from me.
Chorus 2
I hear there's somebody new.. I hope and pray that its not true
Please forgive me.
