Learn this lesson and learn it well
The art of denial, the science to quell
This and more I’ll teach you my friend
The act of betrayal and how to mend
It’s simple to accept no blame
Transforming beauty into shame
Walk with me now, let me be your guide
I’ll help erase what you can’t abide
Your life holds more value with no past
No hidden shadows left to cast
To turn back the hours and erase time
Retrace your steps and hide the crime
First close your eyes, return to that day
Remember what I’m about to say
You never spoke, you never met
She is no longer your regret
She never existed in your eyes
You will now be deaf to her cries
What was once your love, turn to hate
Surrender the joy, release the weight
Close your eyes to her pain, leaver her be
Just walk on by, there’s nothing to see
She’ll remain lost forever more
You won the battle in this war
Wasn’t that simple, so easy to do
It will make life more pleasant for you
The lesson is over, now you can go
You possess all there is to know
Return to your life of hollow ways
And never think upon those days
I wish you peace in your new life
Never to endure a day of strife
I forgive you for erasing me
For moving on so easily
Life goes on, as it always should
Please know that I understood
But my old friend know this too
Just as you have started anew
I have found happiness in my days
Moved on from you in different ways
But I’ll always love you my friend
And cherish your memory til the end
When the sun begins to falls
And the cold night takes hold
Yellow stars begin to shine
As the echoes of a lonely wind
Slowly blow through my mind
In dreams you come to me
Open arms beckoning me in
You’re so alive in my mind
And I don’t want to lose sight
Of the way you taste and breathe
For in the lonely morning rays
You’ll just fade into the night
You cannot be swept away
Whispering words in the wind
That should never be spoken
Trapped behind this door
That never again will be opened
All I see and all I wish to find
Once laid within your arms
I feel you haunting my soul
Back and forth I fall to you
Lingering want circling my mind
Searching for your love
That I’ll never again find
