Nothing more than a memory
Nothing more than a dream
Thought everything was perfect,
nothing's ever what it seems

Nothing more than a lie
Nothing more than just a fight
But why are we still angry,
when we've already made things right?

Nothing more than an empty promise
Nothing more than a mistake
We were just two people,
who didn't have what it takes

Nothing more than a hello
Nothing more than a good-bye
Those were our last words spoken,
though neither one of us knew why...

Back to the beginning
Thought we'd give it another shot
Didn't want to throw it all way
Rather just hold onto what we've got
Regardless, if we were unhappy
We learned to live with all the doubts
It was better than the thought of loneliness
That we knew we couldn't surmount
Played pretend, knowing the end
Was just around the corner
When you've been together for so long
Who really wants to be a loner?
At least we've got each other
That's more than some people have
But is it happiness or just memories,
we continue to grasp?
Guess, we'll soon find out
If we're truly meant to be
Lies can only last for so long
Until the truth sets us free...

Death speaks of comforting things
Is what most people will never understand
A poisonous seduction of the mind
The art of dying by your own hand
Nothing else matters in the world
When suicide becomes your only chance
To escape life's harsh realities
You choose to throw it all away
And die by your own plan...

Forgotten

As I walk off into the night
I'll be nothing more than a memory
Just another face in the crowd
A dream that was never meant to be...

For the record, I hate you. Off the record, I love you.

Shoe-boxes full of memories, is all that's left of you
Photographs from the past
Not sure what I'm holding on to
Since we're broken up now
But I can't seem to move on
Though this empty void in my heart
Keeps telling me you're gone

So I wake up every morning
Pretending you died
I know it sounds horrible
But it helps push the pain aside
It takes practice to keep lying to yourself
For you to finally see
You were my life and now you're gone
Though I still don't want to believe

When I think I'm finally over you
Our song plays and reminds me that
I'm back to where I started
Alone and broken-hearted
I just can't seem to get on track
To move forward with my life
And accept that you were just a chapter
Of a biography, that I wish I could rewrite
Replacing the tragedy with our laughter

Things were great at one point
Then our situation turned tragic
Went from good to worse so quickly
Thought what we had was above average
Like the magic, dream marriages were made of
The happily-ever-after type ending
The very idea romantics ate up
It goes to show you
Good things don't last long
But why are we so surprised?
We knew it all along
