Cupid

 

By Minstrel

Kiss me like you mean it,
Swear to me an oath,
The next time we see Cupid,
He has to shoot us both.

'Cause when the arrow hit me,
It went straight to my heart.
But there were just too many things,
Keeping us apart.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the good times,
I'll remember all the moments we shared.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how my heart was so unprepared.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the music,
And all of the songs that we played.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how I wish that you had stayed.

You used to say, I Love you.
But you don't say it anymore.
And it kind of makes me wonder,
Just what I was wishing for.

I reached across my empty bed,
Pretending you were there.
So you could wake up in my arms,
And know how much I care.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the good times
I'll remember all the moments we shared.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how my heart was so unprepared.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the music,
And all of the songs that we played.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how I wish that you had stayed.

I fell in love too quickly,
I fell in love too deep,
I struggle with it every night,
And cry myself to sleep.

Kiss me like you mean it,
Swear to me an oath.
The next time we see Cupid,
He has to shoot us both.
He has to shoot us both.
