The Price of a Memory

by Shane   Nov 14, 2006


I still don't understand
I dropped that burden you gave me
Put it far from my reach, however
My mind grazes upon it even now
I wish I could go back
Pick it up and forget
That you already said goodbye

Oh in time I'll heal
I'll lick my wounds, alone
And i'll remember that it's all been done before
My mind will wander, unfocused
Like the light diffusing into a cold winter morning
And i'll recall that I've made it through
This isn't the first time

But, in the recess of my mind
I'll go back to that day, that moment,
When your eyes still painted perfection,
When the heart I wore on my sleeve fell
I wish you would go back
Pick it up and forget
That you already said goodbye.
