At least we can say we tried

Whenever I recall the memory

Of our last goodbye I picture

Your hand slipping from mine

I remember our last kiss

My lips pressed on yours

The way we held each other

We both knew it wasn't our time

To be together, to love one another

Our collision changed us

For the better

When I close my eyes I see

The life you wanted for me

And then I see the life

You wanted for us

I see the small house with the big yard

A kid, a dog

A cute couple in love

Which will never happen

Thanks to me, your ex girlfriend

Your ex bride to be

I chose a job over a family

I chose me over us

Don't worry, you'll find the right one for you someday

We both thought I was it didn't we

We both thought I would choose differently

You're probably wondering if

I'm satisfied with the choice I made

No need to remind me what you sacrificed

The answer is yes I suppose

I'd be happier if I had both but

That will never happen so

At least we can say we tried
