As I Recall

Verse 1

Some say love's a gift

But it's only left me adrift

I found myself lost

And saw it had a cost

I feel like a doormat

I wish I could take it back

Chorus

As I recall

You made me fall

I wish I caught myself

I feel I've lost myself

As I recall

You dropped the ball

I wish I let it fall

And never saw it at all

Verse 2

I'm in a depressing void

That's what I try to avoid

I do everything to forget

And cut out everything that is left

I wish I could believe

That it's okay to live with my heart on my sleeve

Chorus

As I recall

You made me fall

I wish I caught myself

I feel I've lost myself

As I recall

You dropped the ball

I wish I let it fall

And never saw it at all

Chorus

As I recall

You made me fall

I wish I caught myself

I feel I've lost myself

As I recall

You dropped the ball

I wish I let it fall

And never saw it at all

Verse 3

The worst part

Is living with a broken heart

I'm still on the ground

And there's nothing I've found

I wish I never fell

There's nothing more to tell
