Hey it’s me
I know we haven’t talked in a while
But that’s mostly my fault
Anyway I just wanted you to know that I still think about you
A lot
But not in a creepy way
I miss seeing you every day
Miss running my fingers over the scar on your shoulder

Hey
I should’ve listened when you told me you loved me
I couldn’t believe you
After all how could someone like you
The world in the palm of your hand like a basketball
Fall in love with someone as small as I am
It just didn’t make sense

Hey,
Remember when you first saw me?
You said I looked like I had been cut out of a magazine and glued to a different background
Sitting on the pavement, cigarette in one hand, absentmindedly playing with my shoelace
That’s how you wanted to remember me
Black tank top and cut offs
An alien to the sweet southern girls all around me
You thought being different was a good thing
How naïve

Hey
I’m sorry for blowing up at you for no reason
For cheating on you
I know it’s not much of an excuse but I was falling for you and I couldn’t let myself be that vulnerable again
I’m sorry for lying to you when you asked if I was okay

Hey
Baby you were my guardian angel, my saving grace
The one thing that might’ve had a chance at saving me from myself
From what I’ve become
And I cut off your helpful hands
If you were here now you would tell me not to be so hopeless
But what can I do now that I’ve sent my last hope away?

Hey, It’s me again
I loved you
Pure
I loved you
Simple
The only uncomplicated thing in my life

Hey,
I will never be as brave as you
But I’m trying
So call me back sometime
Maybe this time I’ll let you sweep me off my feet
Maybe this time
I won't be so afraid of falling
