Do You Remember
Stewart And Kyle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you hate me
Though, I loved you with all my soul
Know you resent me
Want me to feel the same, but I won't
And I could choose to hold on to all you did
We both bled, and none are innocent
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
I know you loved me
In more ways than I'd ever know
You don't believe me
But I loved you to the edge of the world
And I could choose to hold on to all you did
We both bled, and none are innocent
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
And I could choose to hold on to all you did
We both bled, and none are innocent
And if I wanted to, I could find ways to hate you
But that's not how I choose to remember you
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh




And if I wanted to, I could find ways to hate you
But that's not how I choose to remember you
