Not so far behind
How much time does it take to forget somebody
When you barely even know their name
How long will I wait for these memories to fade
Will I ever be the same again someday
You left me here barely breathing
All alone in the downpour, I face my fears
Turn around, walk away and forget me
But it's still raining and I'm still here
Do you remember who I am
The one that tried to understand
Now I'm the last one on your mind
Regret the nights, forget the time
Well, I'm not so far behind
Not so far behind
I sat and watched while you were sleeping
Never closer to home then when I was in your arms
Too much of a mess for you to keep me
Oh, I wanted it all but I fell too hard
Now I need a hope, I need a shelter
Before my mind begins to turn
Look me in the face and say your better
Cause if that's true, I got a lot to learn
Do you remember who I am
The one that tried to understand
Now I'm the last one on your mind
Regret the nights, forget the time
Well, I'm not so far behind
I'm not so far behind.
When you barely even know their name
How long will I wait for these memories to fade
Will I ever be the same again someday
You left me here barely breathing
All alone in the downpour, I face my fears
Turn around, walk away and forget me
But it's still raining and I'm still here
Do you remember who I am
The one that tried to understand
Now I'm the last one on your mind
Regret the nights, forget the time
Well, I'm not so far behind
Not so far behind
I sat and watched while you were sleeping
Never closer to home then when I was in your arms
Too much of a mess for you to keep me
Oh, I wanted it all but I fell too hard
Now I need a hope, I need a shelter
Before my mind begins to turn
Look me in the face and say your better
Cause if that's true, I got a lot to learn
Do you remember who I am

Now I'm the last one on your mind
Regret the nights, forget the time
Well, I'm not so far behind
I'm not so far behind.
