Song for You
B.B.WAVES Lyrics

I took our pictures off the wall
I removed every image of us that adorned my surroundings

Off the shelf
I removed every keepsake that I had once held on to

Off the desk
I removed the memories from the place where we once shared workspaces

Told you how I felt
I expressed my deepest feelings to you

What you meant and all the rest
I conveyed my understanding of your significance and every bit of our shared experience

I gave you everything
I offered you everything that I had to give

Now I sit with nothing left
I feel empty and without purpose now that everything has been taken away from me

I crashed my car, first thing I thought was you
Even during a traumatic experience, my thoughts immediately went to you

Pam and Jim worked through it
A reference to a fictional couple's successful reconciliation in a popular television show

And I thought we could too
I believed that our love was strong enough to overcome any obstacles, like the couple in the show

Now it's clear to me goodbye means you're gone
I have come to accept that when you say goodbye, it means that you are truly leaving my life

And I can't believe it's true
It is difficult for me to accept the reality of our separation

I don't know why this is happening
I cannot comprehend the reasons behind our failed relationship

But if you really wanna leave...
If you truly wish to depart from our relationship...

I've got one last song for the girl I knew
I have one final tribute in the form of a song for the girl that I once knew

Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
You mended my broken heart only to break it into pieces once again

Now a piece of me will always live in you
A part of me will always be with you, forever entwined in our shared experience

Here's one last song for you
This is my final dedication to you through the form of a song

You know too much about me, I know too much about you
Our shared knowledge and intimacy makes it impossible for us to merely be friends

And that's why can't just be friends
Our history prevents us from mutually reverting to a platonic relationship

But I'll keep your secrets, hopes, and dreams too
I will continue to hold the confidence of your innermost secrets, desires, and aspirations

Holding every single word we said
I continue to cherish and hold on to every single word we've ever spoken

Bad and Good, we still understood
Despite the negative and positive aspects of our relationship, we always had an understanding of each other

Didn't know this was floating in the air
We were unaware that our relationship was on the verge of collapse

Broke me down there's no turning back now
The downfall of our relationship has completely destroyed me and cannot be reversed

And there's nothing left to share
Our relationship has nothing left for us to share with one another

I saw myself in you
I saw myself reflected in your character and actions

We were good for a while
Our relationship was fulfilling and happy for a period of time

Now I'm missing your smile
I long for the happiness that your smile once brought me

How did we end up here
I am curious as to how our relationship has reached this point

Was it me, was it you
I am uncertain if the fault lies with me or with you

What did we do...
What actions did we take that led us to this point?

Now as long as I live I'll never forget you
I will never forget the memories and experiences that we shared, for as long as I shall live

Just don't forget me too
I hope that our shared memories will not be forgotten by either one of us

Now a piece of you will always live in me
A part of you will always be with me, forever entwined in our shared experience

And that's how I'm going to leave
This is how I will depart from our relationship on a final note, leaving you with this tribute in the form of a song
