It's funny, how you can just be sitting there in your bed reading,
And some random song is playing in the background on your computer
And suddenly it brings back all sort of rememberance...
Things you thought were forgotten, are now vivid in your mind as if it were yesterday
People pushed out of memory fixate their image in your tired mind.
And i remember the last time i ever heard this song,
And every moment of that night, when i was just a teenager
And you said i was "the one" and we were both young and foolish
Enough to believe that what was perfect one night in a club
Could be perfect forever....
That was the night i realized that i could never stay mad at you, for anything,
Not sitting on that red couch pouting because of something trivial,
And not after I grew up and watched you break my heart a thousand times.
Something about you was always forgiveable. I could never turn down a dance.
I used to look back with an aching heart.
I used to have to fight back hot, stinging tears and force myself to hate you
Because it was the only way i could move on with my life
And be happy again.
But its funny, how time changes everything
I look back now with a half-smile, and despite everything,
There is a fond rememberance there,
A sort of reassurance that i'm not a bad person to NOT regret you
Because without everything that was you and me,
I might not be who i am today.
I can look back and be thankful that things weren't perfect in the end
But i've stopped trying to hate you
I'm happy now, that you gave me a few nights i can look back on and smile.
It will be weird, saying goodbye in a few months.
I've had to say goodbye to you so many times,
And none of them were ever goodbye forever,
But they were goodbyes that let me let go, just a little
So that someday soon, there wont be much to let go of.
I can only pack so much, and old memories aren't going to be among the things i take,
Not to a life that's sunny and devoid of pain --
No, memories of you don't belong there.
They are saved for a boy I want to marry someday,
The one who saves these dances for me now
And wouldnt break my heart for anything in the world.
Still, there's something about songs like these that make me think only of you
And things that were or should've-could've-would've been...
It's funny how our hearts never truly forget, once we've loved
And i believe now, that everything does happen for a reason
And maybe in some other life, this song could be attached to different, brighter memories....
But tonight, this one will do.

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
