can't fight these harsh feelings
they fill my brain and envelop me
every time I see you,
my vision is blurred and I remember,
I start to remember the words you first said
I thought they were so stupid
but I laughed right along,
assuming the best of you.

I don't like to remember all the good times we had
for reality is far too painful to comprehend
without you, babe, I never even thought
I needed you
or someone like you . . .
it hurts to relive the glory days

I love to remember all the good times we had
for they fill me with hope that,
someday I'll be with someone even better
stronger, kinder, more honest, even
can you imagine? my head has a hard time
grasping an image of happier feelings
than the ones you were able to make me feel
every single waking second.

the emotions blow over,
as I am forced to ignore you
but remember love,
I was so ready to love you.
