Three Years Gone

Three years of memories still live in this town,

Your name in my heart,

but you're nowhere around.

We used to talk forever underneath those stars,

Now I'm learning how lonely these backroads can feel in the dark.

I saw you with him and my whole world stood still,

Tried to hide what I felt,

but I don't think I will.

My heart started racing like it used to before,

When you were the girl I was fighting for.

I still miss you,

girl,

more than these words can say,

Three years don't just disappear and fade away.

And even though somebody else is holding you tonight,

I'll carry the love I gave you for the rest of my

life.

Maybe you're gone,

maybe you've moved on,

But part of me still wakes up hoping you're not gone.

No matter where this road takes me,

No matter what I go through,

I'll love you till the day I die,

Even if I can't be

with you.

I've driven past places where we used to go,

Windows down, radio low,

missing you more than you know.

Every little memory

cuts a little too deep,

Three years of loving you ain't something my heart can just leave.

I don't blame you for finding somebody new,

But damn, girl, it still hurts seeing him with you.

I smile like I'm fine,

but the truth is inside,

I'm still that same fool who loved you with all of his

life.

Maybe someday

I'll hear your name

And it won't bring back

all this pain.

Maybe I'll learn to let you go,

But there's one thing you'll always know...

(always know...) I loved you then,

I love you now,

And I don't know how to turn that love around.

Three years wasn't just a chapter in my life,

You were the girl I pictured standing by my side.

So if you ever wonder if it was real,

Know every word, every kiss,

every memory was how I feel.

You may be with somebody new,

But I'll always remember you.

And wherever this old road takes me,

Whatever tomorrow brings,

I'll miss you till my last goodbye,

And I'll love you till the day

I die.
