My Ex Called Saturday

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.
