Song Analysis #1

Help Me Remember By Rascal Flatts
I know that you're leavin'
As soon as the sun
Comes through the window
There's no talking this over
The damage is done
There's just too much hurt
Too much to forgive
Oh, but we both know
We were'nt always like this

CHORUS
Help me remember
The way that we used to be
When nothin' else mattered
"cause you were lovin' me
Just for the night, one last time
One more good memory
When I look back
That's what I wanna see

Oh, help me remember

Those days that were so good
Those nights that we held
Held on forever
When we weren't pretenders
We were as real as we felt
Oh, I don't want to fight anymore
Don't want the last thing I hear tonight
To be a slammin' door
Baby, let it be like before

Repeat Chorus

This could be the last time
I look in your eyes

Help me remember
The way that it used to be
When nothin' else mattered
'Cause you were lovin' me
Oh, help me remember
Oh, help me, help me
Oh, oh, oh, oh-

"Oh, help me remember/Those days that we held/ Held on forever/ When we weren't pretenders/ We were as real as we felt/ Oh, I don't want to fight anymore/ Don't want the last thing I hear tonight/ To be a slammin' door/ Baby, let it be like before". The tone of this song is sad and you can feel the pain of the heartbreak that he is going through.
