Haunted By the Past

Haunted
Haunted by the past
Haunted by these memories that forever last
Get out of my head
Get out of my mind
Get out of my heart so I can leave you behind
You forgot my confession
You forgot my strives
You forgot all the moments shared in our lives
You'll never have to hear them
You'll never need to know
You'll never see these feelings, I'll never let them show
Behind these lonely memories
Behind these tear-filled eyes
Behind these broken feelings, I hide away in self-disguise
Between us are the special times
Between us is a wall
Between us was a relationship, picked up but only to fall
I chose to tell you the truth
I chose to tell you the facts
I chose to tell you how I felt, and was let down by confusing acts
I remember a time
I remember a love
I remember a story sent from above
My feelings are of love
My feelings are of hate
My feelings are a lie, thinking this was fate
How soon will I forget?
How soon will I move on?
How soon will I lose hope? I guess it's already gone
Even though this sounds a little harsh
Even though this sounds too cruel
Even though I still want friendship, I feel just like a fool
I'm sure that you don't want this
I'm sure that you don't care
I'm sure that in my heart no one will compare
Know that I wish you happiness
Know that I wish you well
Know that I'm not bitter, for our frienship I wish to excel
