Boy it's been all this time,
And I can't get you off my mind,
And nobody knows it but me.
I stare at your photograph,
Still sleep in the shirt you left,
And nobody knows it but me.
Everyday I wipe my tears away,
So many nights I've prayed for you to say.
[Chorus]
I should have been chasing you,
I should have been trying to prove,
That you were all that mattered to me,
I should have said all the things,
That I kept inside of me and maybe,
I could have made you believe,
That what we had was all we ever need.
My friends think I'm moving on,
But the truth is that I'm not that strong, and nobody knows it but me.
And I've kept all the works you said,
In a box underneath my bed,
And nobody knows it but me.
But if you're happy I'll get through somehow,
But the truth is that I've been screaming out.
[Chorus]
It was all we'd ever need.
Oh, thought it was all we'd ever need.
I should have been chasing you,
You should have been trying to prove,
That you were all that mattered to me,
You should have said all the things,
That I kept inside of me and maybe,
You could have made me believe,
That what we had was all we ever need.
Was all we'd ever need
And I can't get you off my mind,
And nobody knows it but me.
I stare at your photograph,
Still sleep in the shirt you left,
And nobody knows it but me.
Everyday I wipe my tears away,
So many nights I've prayed for you to say.
[Chorus]
I should have been chasing you,
I should have been trying to prove,
That you were all that mattered to me,
I should have said all the things,
That I kept inside of me and maybe,
I could have made you believe,
That what we had was all we ever need.
My friends think I'm moving on,
But the truth is that I'm not that strong, and nobody knows it but me.
And I've kept all the works you said,
In a box underneath my bed,
And nobody knows it but me.
But if you're happy I'll get through somehow,
But the truth is that I've been screaming out.
[Chorus]
It was all we'd ever need.
Oh, thought it was all we'd ever need.
I should have been chasing you,
You should have been trying to prove,
That you were all that mattered to me,
You should have said all the things,
That I kept inside of me and maybe,
You could have made me believe,
That what we had was all we ever need.
Was all we'd ever need

But the truth is I'm not that strong and nobody knows it but me
And I've kept all the words you said
In a box underneath my bed
And nobody knows it but me
But if you're happy I'll get through somehow
But the truth is that I've been screaming out
I should have been chasing you
I should have been trying to prove
That you were all that mattered to me
I should have said all the things
That I kept inside of me and maybe
I could have made you believe
That what we had was all we'd ever need
I'm just wondering if she is singing the first part of the song. I'm wondering if I should be chasing. They say to let them go and give them space. It was her decision for the break-up... Love her so much.. I hope there is a happy ending for me and Laurie!

I'm going through this right now. I thought that I was insane for still liking my ex. But last night he told me that he still crazy about me and has strong intense feelings for me that he can't hold in anymore. I was so relieved, because we broke up three months ago and I haven't gone a day without thinking about him, I check his facebook page, relate every song to him and I, save all of our conversations online... and reread them over and over, and reminisce our past. We're both relieved now that we know we still love each other "after all this time".
its about this couple who broke up and after all this time they still think about what they had and they regret ever breaking up.
im going through that right now
me and my ex boyfriend broke up two months ago and i wish we were together now. :( but we can't because he likes someone else now.. hopefully someday in the future we can be together again, because we truely loved each other.
Best line in the song. You just want him to be happy because you care so much, that you push aside your feelings.
But the truth is I'm not that strong and nobody knows it but me
And I've kept all the words you said
In a box underneath my bed
And nobody knows it but me "
i truly do have a box underneath my bed. it holds everything he gave me , every love note, every movie ticket,even every thought i've ever written down about him..
the thing is..its been three years and ive dated many guys after him, my friends all think im over him but the truth is im really not.
the pain never goes away
no matter how many people you end of in a relationship
no matter how much time passes
the pain never goes away
it justs gets easier to deal with.
it's exactly how i feel :/
escpecially "but if you're happy i'll get through somehow, but the truth is i've been screaming out"
God that line hits me so hard.
