Erase
Rewind
Take it back
Try to forget
You took a chance
You lost!
You gave a crap
You shouldn't
The other shoe has dropped
You can't rewind
You must persist
Your mind a rage
You tried in vain
This is what comes from trust
Try it if you must,
but never forget the lesson's clear
There is no happily ever after dear
Try as you might it's all a farce
In fact honesty and truth are sparce
I'll leave you to your illusions pet
Sometimes I wish we hadn't met
But now I really must insist
Companionship's not worth the risk
Be strong my dearie and mend once more
become the hermit you were before
Beyond the curtain where the act unfolds
is where you'll keep the pain your heart now holds
You'll smile and laugh with none the wiser
But your heart is now a mizer.
Erase
Rewind
Take it back...
You can't.
