That you found a girl and you're, married now
I heard, that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I
Couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you be reminded that for me it isn't over
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best
For you too, don't forget me
I beg, I'll remember you say
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze, bound by the surprise
Of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I
Couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg, I'll remember you say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes their memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet
This would taste
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg, I'll remember you say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg, I'll remember you say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
