Everyday I remember, though I wish you were forgotten.
Everyday I remember, though I wish you were forgotten.
Promises didn't matter when I'd scream
We're different people living in the same paradise dream.

I can't run, but it was something you said
and it went through me like a gun barrel,
then I was dead.

I didn't expect you to compliment
that my eyes appear greener, or
notice my smile of a new, shy demeanor.


I didn't want you to call me honey,
however that is a lie. I just didn't
want my fingertip to catch every tear
I'd cry.

I was hiding behind auburn hair.
You don't know me anymore.
There's no turning away
while you look at me like before.

It hurts, but I can do nothing.
I've stared into space and my head hangs low.
I ask who am I suppose to be?
Where did our love go?
