[Verse 1]
Can't believe you're gone for good
Someone chopped you down
Thought you'd just fall in the woods
But she heard that sound
No, I don't, no, I don't remember
Last we spoke
No, I don't, no, I don't remember
Remember, remember, remember
[Chorus]
I look back in time through a telescope
I've been catching my
I've been catching my
My reflection already looking
[Verse 2]
Most are blown down in a storm
But the wind was tame
You weren't waiting anymore
Were you sad or brave?
No I don't, no, I don't condemn you
Back and forth
No I don't, no, I don't condemn you
Condemn you, condemn you, condemn you
[Chorus]
I look back in time through a telescope
I've been catching my
I've been catching my
My reflection already looking
[Bridge]
You tore me up more than you know
You tore me up more than you know
You tore me up more than you know
You tore me up
[Chorus]
I look back in time through a telescope
I've been catching my
I've been catching my
My reflection already looking
