On the radio the other day
I heard that song, when it would play
We said it was “our song”
And even though try as I might
The lyrics just did not seem right
In fact, they were all wrong
My mind peered back into the past
'Eternal Flames' don't always last
Tides shift before too long
A smirk of sadness came to me
Best friend became my enemy
Lives built; Destroyed and gone
But fog erased; Think of today
and tell myself that it’s okay
Through pain I will be strong
Because the radio still plays
I hold out hope maybe someday
Again, I'll have ‘our song’
