My expression changes And the conversation turns sour When your name is mentioned Everything gets awkward People talk of lessons learned And things they’d never take back But I know I’d get rid of you Without a second thought A pointless second heartache Not even my first love I was moving on with life The moment you showed up Regaining all my strength I built up enough trust To place in your hands The beating sign of love The night you told the truth I felt my soul go numb No tears in front of you But I did shed them all In the corner of a room Cradled in my best friend’s arms Curled in a fetal position Choking on my bleeding heart No, I don’t want to remember The way any of this started None of your eternal promises Or the things I thought once mattered If I got a second chance To life live a different way I’d go back and take from you Every single thing I gave

Revision of You
My expression changes And the conversation turns sour When your name is mentioned Everything gets awkward People talk of lessons learned And things they’d never take back But I know I’d get rid of you Without a second thought A pointless second heartache Not even my first love I was moving on with life The moment you showed up Regaining all my strength I built up enough trust To place in your hands The beating sign of love The night you told the truth I felt my soul go numb No tears in front of you But I did shed them all In the corner of a room Cradled in my best friend’s arms Curled in a fetal position Choking on my bleeding heart No, I don’t want to remember The way any of this started None of your eternal promises Or the things I thought once mattered If I got a second chance To life live a different way I’d go back and take from you Every single thing I gave
