Inside

Bottled up inside me
Are the words I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on my face;
Trapped inside are lies
Of the past I can't replace.
With memories that linger
Won't seem to go away.
Why can't I be happier?
Today's a brand new day.
Yesterdays are over,
Even though the hurtings not.
Nothing lasts forever,
I must cherish what I've got.
Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone.
All you ever wanted
Of the love you'd won.
The hurt I'm feeling now
Won't disappear over night,
But someway, somehow,
Everything will turn out all right,
No more wishing for the past.
It wasn't meant to be.
So I had to set her free.
