I'm trying to forget the pain of the past
But it's as sharp as broken glass.
Stiches gone, scars forever.
This memory leave? No, never.
Looking into your eyes makes my heart jump,
But only just an extra thump.
Until I remember what you did to me,
You stole my love, then set me free.
Maybe I should thank you,
Those chains held me through and through.
But still I have no one to love,
And all I do is push and shove.
My friends tell me I've changed,
But I'm only taking time to get rearranged.
You see, I'm not longer the same,
Because I have no love to claim.
I'll find a way to move on with my life,
But someday I'll look back on my strife.
Forgiveness is a virtue to which I'll never part
And I'm using it to heal my broken heart.
Just remember me in your times of pain
And realize you left me a stain.
