A while back I saw a smile,

I saw a soul behind the prettiest face,

And I’ve been trying to forget you,

But your memory’s something I can’t erase.

Is it my fault that I still think of you?

Maybe it is, maybe it’s not;

I just can’t help but to remember

That what I had, has been forever lost.

If I could change just one small detail,

I’d change the settings of time and place;

I’d move it on, to the future,

And just let chance decide our fates.

I keep pretending I don’t miss you,

Just keep pretending I’ll be ok,

But God knows that yes, yes, yes I miss you,

I miss you more than I can tell.

I wish that just for one more second

I could see your face again,

And just for one, one tiny second,

Feel all these sorrows wash away.

Now while I sit here and slowly wither,

Accusing life of being cruel and unfair,

I know that in your heart nothing,

Nothing for me now remains.

In Romeo’s case it was opposition

That kept Juliet away from him,

But sometimes I stop to wonder;

What if Juliet had not fancied him?

I don’t know why I just can’t surrender,

The battle is over and my armies lay dead.

I wonder why I keep on trying.

I’ve never been a quitter I guess.

I’ll try my best to obliterate you

From my heart, my dreams, my head,

I’ll try my best because honestly,

I cannot bear how much this hurts.
