Rise and then fall,
back against the wall,
cornered again,
don't look back my friend.

Nothing lasts,
as long as the past,
as long as memories,
that's all you'll be,
a memory.

You're just dead weight,
holding me down.
I'm cleaning my slate,
and I'm starting now.

No more you,
no more me!
Just our thoughts,
and distant memories!

I once thought,
I was insane!
Till I realized,
you're to blame!

For all these nights,
I spend alone,
I'll always remember,
I'm better off without you.

I don't ever recall,
a time where I felt so appalled.
You were the one for me,
but now you're a memory.

I don't care,
what you say!
I'm will never,
feel the same!

I will take,
to the grave,
the hate I feel,
for you today!

And when I look,
at old pictures,
I will always,
think of her!

But you will never,
hear me say,
that I love you,
ever again!

For all these nights,
I spend alone,
I'll always remember,
I'm better off without you.

I don't ever recall,
a time where I felt so appalled.
You were the one for me,
but now you're a memory.
