Jamie

Walked down to the basement just to collect my dues

Didn't know that night I'd be running into you

Saw a figure on the couch, hiding in a hoodie

Thought it was a dude just kicking it with my buddy

Then I heard a voice say, "I am Jamie"

I turned around, and my heart went crazy

Skipped a whole beat, caught me completely off guard

Took a few months, but you walked right into my heart

You taught me who I was when I forgot myself

Always got a smile, always trying to help

Standing up for the ones who can't fight their own battles

Funny, smart, beautiful, breaking all the shackles

Even though things changed, I gotta make it clear

I'll always love you, Jamie, I'll always be near

I reminisce about the nights we'd stay awake and talk

Deep conversations as we watched the ticking clock

I'd make you breakfast in the morning, keep you from the cold

Rub your forehead till you slept, a beauty to behold

But I can finally say what I didn't want to see

I know that you don't really want to be with me

'Cause every time we try, the fighting starts around

I wish you the best with Chris, I hope you find your ground

You taught me who I was when I forgot myself

Always got a smile, always trying to help

Standing up for the ones who can't fight their own battles

Funny, smart, beautiful, breaking all the shackles

Even though things changed, I gotta make it clear

I'll always love you, Jamie, I'll always be near

But babe, listen to me, this is coming from the soul

Please go to rehab, you gotta take control

Finish it, babe, you owe it to yourself to try

You got a light inside you, don't let it pass you by

I believe in you, Jamie, I know that you can do it

I'll do anything I can to help you get through it

'Cause you taught me who I was when I forgot myself

Always got a smile, always trying to help

Standing up for the ones who can't fight their own battles

Funny, smart, beautiful, breaking all the shackles

I don't want to say goodbye, but I want to see you heal

I'll always love you, Jamie, and that's forever real
