holding on to all that remains
of my half-forgotten yesterdays
all caught up in "used-to-be's"
and this lingering heartache
How can I let go of you
when I can't make you go away?
What happened to the good I saw in you?
I don't know who you are... today
Chorus:
(And so, here I go
Making you disappear
Emptying my mind
Of the things that keep you here
And now, I show you how
To make your nightmares fade
I'm closing the lid on Pandora's box
I'm letting go of the yesterdays...)
The words on my lips turn to silence
Why do I let you push me around?
So much baggage you've given me
As I linger in the 'used-to-be'
You're the greatest liar ever to live
and the greatest actor ever to lie
You had me so convinced...
until you killed it with goodbye
(chorus)
Wonder if you feel good about yourself
Is hurting me your high?
Makes me wonder why I bothered
Why did I even try?
Misery loves it's company
and your company- I USED TO BE
As I wash the stains away
I wash away your memory
Oh wow...this was absolutely wonderful. I felt the pain in your words....and in my heart too I guess...cus I've felt the exact same way. There is nothing worse in this life than heartbreak...not that I've experienced anyway...but I think it's worse when you feel like you got burnt in the process. When you don't even know who somebody is anymore, because they've changed so much. All you want to do is let them go...but they're still right in the front of your mind..so it's almost impossible...you know you shouldn't care so much due to the lies and the fact that they hurt so much, but you do. And I loved the end of this...because it showed closure and resolution and I guess that's what I'm looking for. Great write..most definitely a favorite. ~hailie~
This was written very well. I could almost hear the music to go along with it. I've been there, heart break, misery, all part of life so I love it the same. The only part I didn't like, and not because of the lyrics, but because of my own views, was the part about letting go of yesterdays. I think no one should despite what the memories you hold with holding onto bad yesterdays. if you didn't have the yesterdays you wouldn't have the todays and wothout the todays, you wouldn't have tomorrows. The lyrics were great I loved them. I just wish I could've heard them with music. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll keep reading
