Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Roses were your favorite flower
And I couldn't stand the scent
But if it's what it takes
To put a smile on your face
I guess I'll deal with it
You hung with the popular kids
And I couldnā€™t stand them
But I sucked it up because
I wanted to be more than friends
[Verse 2]
You should walk away with me
In your heart, keep me in your mind
You don't have to speak
Over our past, just
Keep me in your life
[Verse 3]
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
[Verse 4]
Oh, no
Oh, oh
[Verse 5]
We were ridin' down Dyer with my top down
Singin' our favorite songs
But the funny thing is
Every time we did, you'd always get the words wrong
And I was your biggest fan
You should never forget it
I bet your new man
Doesn't love you like I did
Doesn't love you like I did
Does he love you like I did?
No
[Verse 6]
You should walk away with me
In your heart, keep me in your mind
You don't have to speak
Over our past, just
Keep me in your life
[Verse 7]
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
[Verse 8]
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
[Verse 9]
Oh, no
Oh, oh
[Verse 10]
You should walk away with me
In your heart, keep me in your mind
You don't have to speak
Over our past, just
Keep me in your life
[Verse 11]
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
Keep me alive
[Verse 12]
Oh, no
Oh, oh
