Remember Two Things

from Live: 8​.​21​.​09 by Justin Friello

lyrics

I packed my bags the other night
I thought I heard you crying out my car's back right window
Check my mirror tonight

I knew the things that you were saying
Right up to departure were the truth
But it's hard for me too.

You say, you say, you say
That we can work it out and I don't have to go
But I know that's no-can-do.

So when I go, please don't follow me
We both know that we need
Space and time to recover from what just happened here
I know you want to come, but stay and remember the two things
That I said to you last night before I turned out the light
I said "I love you"
I said "I love you"
And I meant it

It's hard for you right now
But sooner or later you'll see that something happened between us
For the good

"For the good?" you say, "It can't be that way
you're leaving, leaving me here all alone,
Please turn on your phone
Every once in a while so I can call and
Tell you 'I love you' or maybe we could just talk..."

Listen, when I go, please don't follow me
We both know we need some
Space and time to recover from what just happened here
I know you want to cry, but hold back your tears and remember the two things
That I said to you last night before I turned out the light
I said "I love you"
I said "I love you"
And I meant it

We had a good run for our day
I know right now that it's hard to believe that
But it's true

But don't misconstrue what I'mm saying
We're not meant to be together, but I'll always think about you
I'll always think about you

You say, you say, you say "I've lost count of the days and how many times you've done this.
And things have always worked out between us."
But hold on, you gotta understand that this time something happened between us

So when I go, please don't follow me
We both know that we need some
Space and time to recover from what just happened here
I know right now you feel like you wanna die but hold off that thought and remember two things
I said to you last night before I turned off the light
I said "I love you"
I said "I love you"
And I meant it
