She remembers the last time
She fell in love
She dust herself off
And then got back up
She remembers the last time
She changed her name
And swore never to be
Called babe again
She remembers the last time
She lost her way
And she promised her comfort
Together they'd stay
But she can't remember the last time
She thought of another
That wasn't herself
Neither sister nor brother
She can't remember the last time
She gave up control
When her outward demeanor
Was not distant and cold
Yet she thinks of that one time
When all fell into place
When her mind and her heart
Each other would race
And of that one time
The strength of her hands
When they held onto
Those of her man's
She thought of her own strength
And when it'd return
And if she'd ever
Apply what she's learned
She spent all her time thinking
About that one future day
When she would meet another
And the words he should say
She did all her thinking
From the comfort of home
Never once seeing
It's this reason she's alone
