Cause we're so long gone...

I made a promise but had to say goodbye,
Couldn't look back - couldn't dare to see you cry.
Thought all night about what you had said,
Realised how wrong I was but I could not take back

Whatever I said...
Whatever I did...
Can't stop but watch as my heart starts to bleed,
Grasping onto broken dreams,
Numbness in my heart that won't let me breathe.

Waking up hoping today will be a better day,
That maybe I'll gather the courage to finally say,
What it all meant to me and how it's all lost,
How I can't seem to want to go on when our paths don't cross.

Wishing I could forget you,
But your memories continue to shine through,
The tears never fail to fall as I cry myself to sleep,
Thinking that maybe one day I'll forgive,
The mistakes I made that only make me grieve.

Broken pieces of everything shimmer all day long,
Aching and grieving heart suggesting how everything is so wrong,
Day in and day out without a time to rest,
Would it be so hard for you to listen to what I suggest?

Can't ask for anything more,
Don't want to go back knocking on your door.
Just want to forget,
Watch as your memories burn,
Start to breathe freely...
"Cause we're so long gone..."
