I await your return at the window
And reach out for your paw
We were tried and true from the get-go
But now we've been separated too long
Still my stomach deflates on the floor
Just pouring with regret
I hold onto my only memento
A shed of hair that you left on my bed

You should've known that
It was all for love, we had to fall apart
I'll never forget
All the days we had and still forgive myself
One day you'll let go
And maybe you'll think of me once in a while
But you should've known that
It was me who made you pull a broken smile

And the cats don't know which way to turn
Their captain has moved on
Has he taken a nap in the dirt?
I bet they buried him under the lawn
But I pray you've forgotten the lot
On a lap of luxury
'Cause every hour I surface the thought
Of you just trying to get back to me

You should've known that
It was all for love, we had to fall apart
I'll never forget
All the days we had and still forgive myself
One day you'll let go
And maybe you'll think of me once in a while
But you should've known that
It was me who made you pull a broken smile

There were nights when I would wake up
And you'd stare into my eyes
Coming close to have your head stroked
And I'd almost hear you sigh
Now and then I still awaken
And always to my surprise
Where you once were is now vacant
And it tears me deep inside

You should've known that
It was all for love, we had to fall apart
I'll never forget
All the days we had and still forgive myself
One day you'll let go
And maybe you'll think of me once in a while
But you should've known that
It was me who made you pull a broken smile

It was me who made you pull a broken smile
It was me who made you pull a broken smile
It was me who made you pull a broken smile
It was me who made you pull a broken smile
