You can't drown your true feelings, you can't rewrite the past You can't pretend we never happened just because it didn't last You can't act as if I was never there You can't convince yourself that I didn't care You can't take drugs to numb the pain deep inside You can't hide me in a dark corner in the back of your mind You need pain as a reminder that I did exist But you run from the truth like a flying fist You can't replace me with someone else & put all of our memories on a broken shelf You can't have select amnesia only for me You can't hide on land while I'm lost at sea You can't ignore what you need to survive You can't bury your heart while you're still alive
