In the Past...

If i could, I'd be like you
and act like you haven't done me wrong
I'd walk on by without a word
and not flinch when i hear our song

i wish you could see the pain you've caused me
how bad it hurts inside
to know that you don't care anymore
this feeling won't subside

i gaze deep into your eyes
and realize i don't mean a thing to you
all there is to do is tell myself
there's nothing i can do

i wish i could walk away effortlessly
disappear without a trace
but what keeps me running back to you
is the remembrance of your embrace

you used to love me tender
you used to hold me tight
you used to make me feel
that everything in the world was right

i wish we could go back
and work everything out
because i believe you're something
i can't live without

why couldn't i pay attention
and see that it was too good to last
why can't i open my eyes
and see that we are in the past
