lyrics

Did you have a love before me? Did you ask her to stay?
Did she leave you lonely? Or was it you who walked away?

Verse 1
When we first moved in together
You said you were not the marryin’ kind
So I’ll ask you now, about what I’ve just found
And why I can’t put it out of my mind
Can’t put it out of my mind

Verse 2
I saw the wedding dress in your closet
Did you forget it was there?
The tag, it still hung, and when I tried it on
It was not in a size I could wear, no, not in a size I could wear

Chorus
Did you have a love before me? Did you ask her to stay?
Did she leave you lonely? Or was it you who walked away?
I know I'll end up staying, it's been too long to leave
Imagine me on my own out there, he's taken care of me

Verse 3
I couldn’t stop once I’d started
I found more secrets inside
A box tucked away behind the layers of lace
It could have held all the tears that I cried, held all the tears that I cried

Chorus
Did you have a love before me? Did you ask her to stay?
Did she leave you lonely? Or was it you who walked away?
I know I'll end up staying, it's been too long to leave
Imagine me on my own out there, my name was never on a lease

Imagine me
