You can pretend not to miss her
and distance yourself at will
but no amount of time spent hoping
will ever change how you feel

She was the love of your life

those are still the things you remember
that is still the place you met
you still live underneath a sky shared with her
and you haven’t found a replacement yet

She was the love of your life

You won’t un-remember that one song
You can never change how good it felt
It is impossible to unlearn so much about her
Especially when you don’t want to forget

She was the love of your life

Those talks were real
and that touch was true
You’d never had a woman
share that much with you

She was the love of your life

Celebrating special days
Creating good times and memories
Not a moment spent unaccounted for
Everything worth remembering

She was the love of your life

Now alone nights feel lonely
and days without her go noticed
Time spent away seems wasted
and purpose is losing focus

She was the love of your life.
