Remember the day I left
All the things we said
Remember we held each other so tight
All the promises that we made
All the love that we gave
Remember all the tears we cried

Chorus:
Now I'm not perfect, but I was trying to change
Certainly you could see
But that wasn't good enough, you gave away your love
Why couldn't you wait for me

All the letters, the cards, the calls
Through the rises and thru the falls
We each had our trials that we went thru
I always that when it was past
That the love would forever last
Now the only thing missing, is you

Chorus:
Now I'm not perfect, but I was trying to change
Certainly you could see
But that wasn't good enough, you gave away your love
Why couldn't you wait for me

All the plans, the hopes, the dreams
I guess they didn't mean a thing
Somewhere they all went wrong
You said that we would love forever
That we would always be together
Forever has come and gone

Chorus:
Now I'm not perfect, but I was trying to change
Certainly you could see
But that wasn't good enough, you gave away your love
Why couldn't you wait for me
