I tried to be your everything,

I tried to make you see.

I wanted you to love me back,

I wanted us to be.

But my dream was snatched away from me,

To move on was hard to do.

I tried to look for you inside my mind,

Past all the false memories of you.

You were cruel, you had me fooled,

You were nothing but a thief.

When all's said and done you took my heart

And left me no relief.

The pain of the truth was too much to bear,

I struggled to pull through.

I couldn't get past my memories -

My false memories of you.

I can't see now how I loved you then,

The one mistake I've made.

I know you are worthless, a speck of dirt,

But what a price for you I've paid.

Now I can live with the memories,

For I know that they aren't true.

I'll forget you as I forget them all,

All the false memories of you.
