Dear old lover
You were my one and only
My better half
The first girl who was able to show me
That somebody could care
That I have a purpose in life
Now I guess I gotta be honest
I have to say what was left unsaid
I know that I fucked up
I know that I hurt you
and I broke my own promise
Just listen to what I have to say
On that night in November when we first kissed
I felt something that I never felt before
Did you ever feel the same?
Dear old lover
It's been a long time since have talked about our old memories
Both the good and the bad, so now I ask
If there is a chance that we could be
The one thing that we used to be
Back when we were just 17
Back to the good old days
And it's been about a year since we last spoke
You have moved on, and i'm alone
I can't complain, it's all my fault
But I still have hope that we could try
Again just to see how long it lasts
And try to figure out if its meant to be
Is this love? Is it clear to see?
Am I doing the right thing?
On the night of my prom at the end of June
I should have been honest and told you the truth
But now I will live with regret
Dear old lover
It's been a long time since have talked about our old memories
Both the good and the bad, so now I ask
If there is a chance that we could be
The one thing that we used to be
Back when we were just 17
Back to the good old days
But now that you're gone with someone else
Deep down inside, it's killing me
It's killing me
Maybe we should only be friends
But deep down inside, it's killing me
It's killing me
Dear old lover
You were my one and only
You were my better half
The first girl who was able to show me
That somebody could care
That I have a purpose in this life, I do
But now I ask
If there is a chance that we could be
The one thing that we used to be
Back when we were just 17
Back to the good old days
