[Verse] We we're just two young kids, Friday nights catching flicks at the bridge Never would forget the crazy shit that we did If your Dad found out then I'm sure he would forbid Me coming to your crib or ever seeing you again Cause knowing him he was sure to have a fit He'd prolly plead a bid, to an offense That consists of him throwing fists, or peeling wigs I remember we would joke about it It was around the first time I first wrote about ya When the love was so dope in the air That it gave us real thoughts about eloping somewhere No fear, it was us against the world So clear, you were meant to be my girl And, I was getting nice with the rhymes So most of the time I kept you up just reciting my lines And of course you didn't mind, I love you for that We had a bond like glue ain't no fucking with that 'Cause see Cupid threw a dart, and it glued our hearts But as we soon grew up, yeah we grew apart 'Cause we both did things that would break the trust And those are some things that I won't discuss And it's sad to say, 'cause if I had my way I'll still be in contact with you today You said my actions, drove you away like some traffic But what happened happened and it's time to close the chapter Though you did me wrong and I did what I did, People make mistakes and we learn as we live So I learned to forgive; I hope you did the same 'Cause hurt from the past will only bring future pain If you're holding on to it, you gotta let it go It is what it is; I just had to let you know [Chorus] x2 I remember what it was,  And even though it's done girl it's still all love So this one goes out to the lost ones This one goes out to the lost love  [Outro] I remember what it was, And eventhough it's done boy it's still all love So this one goes out to the lost ones This one goes out to the lost love... (Love echoes out)
