A thousand years
That's how long
You said you would wait
And you said we would have together

What happened to that thousand years?
Did your promise turn out to be
The empty words of an
Angst ridden teenager?

Was she just that much better than I?
Did she give you something that I
Never did or never could?
Is that why you picked her?

What did I do
That was oh so wrong
That it led you to leaving me
High and dry with no one to save me?

That thousand years
Turned out to be nothing
But a single fleeting moment
A memory lost to the annals of time

When that song
"A Thousand Years" came on at prom
That wall I had built around your memories
Came crashing down around me

And I realized
That a thousand years
Is what it would take
To be able to get over you
