Everybody keeps a shoebox full of mementos from past lovers. Eventually that box is going into the landfill, whether you throw it out or your kids do after you die. Wouldn't you rather do it yourself, and spare them the knowledge their other parent wasn't your first love? You might even get a new song out of it... especially if It Still Hurts.
lyrics
I don’t know if you meant what you said
What did I do? What did I say?
What didn’t I hear? What did you hear
Come out of my mouth today?
I call for reasons
I can’t, I don’t, I can’t understand
Why don’t you leave when you leave me?
You’re just a ghost I can’t let go
Why do I feel for you?
Why can’t I let it end?
The door won’t close for me
We can’t be friends
Time can’t heal everything
It’s been so long and it still hurts
I’m still waiting for you
It’s been 10 years and it’s only worse
Still run over by you
I thought you meant every word
I thought you were able to love
Your words infect my head
You’re just a ghost my mind won’t let go
It’s been so long and it still hurts
I’m still waiting for you
It’s been 10 years and it’s only worse
Still run over by you
It’s been forever and it still hurts
I see you in the faces of strangers
I want to speak but what can I say
the memory of a better time
it's not supposed to be this way
and it's not ok
It’s been so long and it still hurts
I’m still waiting for you
It’s been 10 years and it’s only worse
But I’ll live without you
