Story Behind the Song
The song was inspired by a mutual boyfriend (who shall remain nameless). The lyrics describe the process of missing and remembering an ex-boyfriend (or ex-girlfriend). It ends, however, on a happy note, as the speaker realizes that she is better off with out him.
Lyrics
In a tattered box,
Hidden away under my bed,
Is where I keep the memories,
Of everything we said, Everything we said...
Many moonlit walks,
Under star-lit raven skies,
You held my hand,
You held back your lies, you held back your lies,
So there must have been a time
That I truly loved you.
In fact, I still cry,
I'm hoping you know that I do, I do.
An on and off romance,
Can't believe it took so long,
For me to realize,
You and I were wrong, You and I were wrong
And this perpetual game,
Of hide-and-seek,
Is slowing to an end...
So there must have been a time
That I truly loved you.
In fact, I still cry,
I'm hoping you know that I do, I do.
And this perpetual game,
Of hide-and-seek,
Is slowing to an end...
Goodbye.
