It should be easy to call you on the phone
Ask how you’re doing since you’ve been on your own
And feel like we used to feel before when it was easier.
When you were just Jacob and I was the girl next door.
We didn’t realize that there would be so much more.
And now I’m sorry to break both of our hearts
‘Cause it can’t get easier.
CHORUS 1
In my mind I can see our picture
With me in white
And a ring on your finger.
In my mind I can see how it all would be.
I heard from Julie that you’ve got a new girlfriend.
I hope she’s better than I could have ever been.
She says she’s pretty and that you can smile again.
That doesn’t make this easier.
CHORUS 2
In my mind I can see our picture
A baby in our arms
And she looks just like her father.
In my mind I can see how it all would be.
BRIDGE
I think about you when I can't sleep at night.
But when it came to him I knew I had to try.
I know I hurt you
I didn't mean to
And now he's everything to me.
God how I loved you,
But we weren't meant to be.
CHORUS 3
And in my mind I can see our picture
Back in time,
Before you were a stranger and
In my mind we were happy together
