We swore we'd talk every day
The morning that I packed up and drove away
Your laugh reminded me of home
But a laugh is not the same
When it's over the phone
We were running on empty
The calls barely helping
It's maddening how distance can make feelings strained
All those miles apart
Left us scared from the start
What had once felt so happy felt strange
Each second made a melody
Minutes formed symphonies
The months that we shared
Filled with wonderful memories
All that we had turned to all we had lost
I'm just the kid that you loved
When the timing was off
I saw your mom at the store
I put on a smile and then I went for the door
Cuz I heard you found someone new
And I am not nearly as happy as I was with you
We were running on empty
The calls barely helping
It's maddening how distance can make feelings strained
All those miles apart
Left us scared from the start
What had once felt so happy felt strange
Each second made a melody
Minutes formed symphonies
The months that we shared
Filled with wonderful memories
All that we had turned to all we had lost
I'm just the kid that you loved
When the timing was off
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
I'm just the kid that you loved
