Steps Toward Forgetting

first say goodbye
then try your hardest
not to cry

believe you did the right thing
give him back
his stupid ring

go home and lay in bed
while sad regrets
fill your dizzy head

wake up in the morning
with dried tears on your face
a warning

turn to your friends
for support and comfort
while your heart slowly mends

eventually your heart becomes whole 
your ready to love again
a fire burns in your soul

search the crowd
search their hearts
find one that beats strong and loud

and hope,
hope he doesn't repeat the first guys mistakes
