Bottled up inside,
are the words I never said,
the feelings that i hide,
the lines you never read.
you can see it in my eyes,
read it on my face:
trapped inside are lies
of the past i can't replace.
with memories that linger-
won't seem to go away
why can't i be happier?
todays a brand- new day.
yesterdays are over,
even though the hurting's not.
nothing lasts forever,
i must cherish what i've got
dont take my love for granted,
for soon it will be gone-
of the love you thought you'd won,
the hurt i'm feeling now
wont disappear overnight,
but some way, some how,
everything will turn out all right.
no more wishing for the past.
it wasn't meant to be.
it didnt seem to last,
so i have to set him free.
