Ransom Pier - What I Remember Lyrics

I could tell you that I've missed you
These six months since you went away
I could say I long to kiss you
And wish I'd begged for you to stay
But I'd be lying to say either
The sun's seemed brighter every day

What I remember
Is empty bottles in the afternoon
And long Decembers
Self medicating by the winter moon
Then you turned on me when springtime came
And your empty life stared back at you

What I remember
What I never can forget
Backhanded compliments
Barbed wire keeping me in check
Did you think that if you weren't there
My whole life would be a wreck?

So I see you crying, baby
You say you're lonesome and I can tell
I hear you sighing, baby
And I hope your conscience serves you well
But when you whisper that you miss me
You'd better keep it to yourself
