You painted with your memory brush
A scene I can't dispel--
The tableau of another time
When I thought I knew you well.
So filled with dreams and wishes then,
The truth I couldn't see,
That you loved YOU too much to make
Any room in your heart for me.
I can't understand how we lived side by side,
And we each saw such different things.
You remember a happier day,
While the pain inside me still stings.
"Do you ever think back and wish?" you asked.
As if the answer you knew.
OH, yeah! I have! A thousand times ten,
Wished I'd never laid eyes on you.
