It’s easy to move on when you forget what you had.
It’s easy to be happy if you can’t remember you are sad.
But when you are me and you remember everything
Nothing seems as simple as it should be.
Memories hit and so does the pain
And you eventually remember that you are to blame.
I’ve known all along what you did wrong
And had to live every day thinking you were gone.
Now you are back and I don’t understand
It is like you aren’t you, now just a man.
That’s why I lied; I saw the joy in your life.
I knew if I revealed who you are
It would tear that apart.
And I just couldn’t bear to be
The one to destroy the life you have built.
I wish we could go back and erase our past
And start over with each other,
That we didn’t have to suffer.
I can’t though, the damage is dealt,
Everything you have done
And everything I have felt.
I owe you for what I am
And everything I can be
Because without you
There wouldn’t be me,
Not really.
