Remember when I carved your name in that tree
I'd always say I love you
But all the same I gotta do me
Your body shakes as you scream it's only a dream it's only a dream
Well don't cry baby girl, you took a chance on me
Her hair sways in the breeze and her whole world embodies nineteen
And I don't know if I can tell her to her face that she's naive
You know I'm a lost cause baby yet you seem to be stricken by me
You know I'm a villain honey I won't let you fall victim to me
And she, never gave up hope
But we will see
How far it goes, this ecstasy
We'll survive anything and everything they'll throw at us
Memories are always the hardest part
And I'm not one to keep breaking your heart
But I don't know if I can look into those eyes and say goodbye
Remember when I carved your name in that tree
I'd always say I love you,
But all the same I gotta do me
Your body shakes as you scream it's only a dream it's only a dream
Well don't cry baby girl, you took a chance on me
Her mind is put at ease when she sees reality
Which comes with knowledge that all deeds find you eventually
You know I'm a lost cause baby yet you seem to be stricken by me
You know I'm a villain honey I won't let you fall victim to me
And she, will never be the one
To change me
My proclivities, come naturally
There's nothing wrong with me
Memories are always the hardest part
And I'm not one to keep breaking your heart
But I don't know if I can look into those eyes and say goodbye
Remember when I carved your name in that tree
I'd always say I love you
But all the same I gotta do me
Your body shakes as you scream it's only a dream it's only a dream
Well don't cry baby girl, you took a chance with me
Heart beats fast in her chest its only for the best
Heart seizes fast in my chest its only for the best
Its only for the best
And darling not to forge another cliché
You'll never know how much I
