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

Wasted Years...

(Verse 1)
As a kid growing up
Always chose to be different
Wanted a better life than you provided
My path changed that instant
Went against everything you said
Nothing made any sense
Your words were just irrelevant
I had my mind set
So I...

(Chorus)
Wasted years off my life
Trying not to be like you
Pursuing the impossible
Making my dreams come true
Till one day I realized
The one thing I already knew
All roads lead somewhere
Mine leads back to you

(Verse 2)
Bitter throughout the years
Estranged to say the least
Kept chasing what I was after
You shook your head in disbelief
Resentment built up
Turned to the bottle for relief
Pipe dream is what you called it
I saw it as my destiny
To make something of myself
The man you couldn't bare to see
So I...

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
As I grew older
The more I understood your point of view
Can't say I agree on how you handled it
But who the hell, would've knew
That it gave me the drive to succeed
Transform my dreams, to reality
So I...

Guess you can say, I owe it all to you.

I'm falling apart in front of your eyes
Yeah I know, I may not show it
But that's just my foolish prides way
At the end of the day
To keep others from ever knowing

So I play it off, as if you've never hurt me
Though I'm dying inside
But who am I really kidding?
You don't even notice
That's what kills me each time

And I'm sitting here wondering
Why I never chose to leave
Knowing things wouldn't get better
Even if I was living a lie
I tried desperately to believe

Till the day, my heart finally shattered
From the stones you threw with ease
I was left alone to pick up the pieces
As I watched you walk off into the night
Taking my happiness, hopes and dreams
