lyrics

Don’t you remember
That you said our love would last forever
Now I’m writing you this letter just to make myself feel better
And show what you’ve done to me
People come and go
In my life there’ve been a lot of loves I’ve known
Only you could help me grow all these seeds that we have sewn
But all you left was a memory
So I’ll sing
Now I know why the willow’s sad
Now I know why the willow weeps
Not for the love he never had
But for the love he couldn’t keep
I thought that we belonged
Now I’m trying all my best just to move on
All these letters and sad songs could never right all my wrongs
But I’ll try them anyhow
And I’ll say
Now I know why the willow’s sad
Now I know why the willow weeps
Not for the love he never had
But for the love he couldn’t keep
