I Guess
Alex Kaneko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I long for past
Times that have passed
The days go by fast since I saw you last
I still remember every moment
Places we went
Letters I sent
Times we spent 'til our heart's content
I guess I'm still to blame
I guess it had to die
I guess it'll never be the same
I still don't know why I tried
And now
I guess I don't even deserve
"Good bye"
Once as two but now one and one
Its what I've done
Begun and undone
I hide from the truths and I try to run
Holding hopes that you miss me too
My past with you
I tried to be true
But I guess these words are all overdue
I guess I'm still to blame
I guess it had to die
I guess it'll never be the same
I still don't know why I tried
And now
I guess I don't even deserve
"Good bye"
I guess I'm still to blame
I guess it had to die
I guess it'll never be the same
I still don't know why I tried
And now
I guess I don't even deserve
"Good bye"
I still wish you'd said
"Good bye"
