I got some sad news when my mom called me last night My cousin Nick fought with demons and he lost the fight The pain in her voice made me think of you And how I just wanted to call you and tell you what I was going through We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into You had to have loved me, to hate me this much Oh, it's true The things that I felt, what I kept to myself There's so much I put you through But I'm reminded of what my mom said Letting go isn't the end ♪ I stared out of the window as Tom drove the van Middle of nowhere, Texas, I think of my dad When I look down we drove over Christmas Creek Wondering what you're doing or if you're thinking of me Well, we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into And you had to have loved me, to hate me this much Oh, it's true The things that you felt you kept to yourself I'll never know what to do But I'm reminded of what my mom said ♪ You had to have loved me ♪ Oh, you had to have loved me
