EWe met like lovers till our C#mhearts beat in time
AFelt her eyes from across the room I'm Esure she felt Bmine
EWe stuck side by side for C#malmost thirteen years
AAn unexpected turn of tides Epulled you from me Bdear

AI'll be missing you like C#mflowers miss the sun
AI'm still breathing but my Ecolor has all Bgone
AI wish I tattooed every C#mpart of me you kissed
AStill feel you under blankeEtsB

It was C#mlove
ANot some honest Emistake
This wC#mas love
Some of Aus are born to Ewait
