Since We Broke Up
By Doug Midgley with contributions by Allison2020

After all the times
You made me cry
I can’t forget
The joy when we first met
Although I’d try
To memorize your face
I never thought
That you would leave someday

Now every time I see a pretty face
I seem to put you right there in her place

Remember all the nights
We spent alone
And the plans we shared
About a family and a home
I can’t imagine why
You’d leave me here
To wonder if
I somehow did you wrong

Now every time I see a pretty face
I seem to put you right there in her place

Since we broke up
I see you in every face you
Always show up
Constant reminders echo your name
Love’s just not enough
Since we broke up

I must have let you down
For you to hurt me
The way you did
To pretend nothing was wrong
Left me with no chance
To save romance
Now there’s no hope
‘Cause you’re already gone

Every time I see a pretty face
I seem to put you right there in her place

You don’t feel the pain
Of seeing the love you’ve lost
In ubiquitous
Mementos of what it cost
Yeah I’m moving on
But everywhere I go
I’m confronted by the fate I’ll never know

‘Cause every time I see a pretty face
I seem to put you right in her place

Since we broke up
I see you in every face you
Always show up
Constant reminders echo your name
Love’s just not enough
Since we broke up

No matter where I choose to be
I’m haunted by your memory
And any peace I try to find
Brings you to mind
I never wanted to erase
The happiness that’s been re-
Placed by emptiness
Since the day you left

Since we broke up
I see you in every face you
Always show up
Constant reminders echo your name
Love’s just not enough
Since we broke up

Since we broke up
