Reminiscing about a lost love that you’re still in love with, knowing that, despite finding someone else, they are still in love with you but won’t admit it.
Verse 1
It’s the simple things,
Like the memory of your Birthday.
Walking through old photographs,
When I’m on my own.
All the loving words you sent,
That you just couldn’t say.
Walking past that empty house,
That should’ve been our home.
Chorus
And it’s lonely, familiar without you.
My heart crumbles when I see you, every time.
D’you still wear my ring?
Does it still mean everything?
Does he even know that it’s mine?
Verse 2
Funny how, even now,
I miss you.
How your foolish jealousy,
Tore our love apart.
I think it’s time,
That I got over you girl.
But I can’t break these perfumed chains,
You’ve wrapped around my heart.
Chorus
And it’s lonely, familiar without you.
My heart crumbles when I see you, every time.
D’you still wear my ring?
Does it still mean everything?
Does he even know that it’s mine?
Verse 3
I see your friends,
They tell me that you miss me.
But you tell me you’re happy now,
You’ve found someone else.
We laugh and say,
We’re better left a memory.
But deep inside us, we both know,
We’re fooling ourselves.
Chorus
And it’s lonely, familiar without you.
My heart crumbles when I see you, every time.
D’you still wear my ring?
Does it still mean everything?
Does he even know that it’s mine?
