Painful Notes
I thought that I had forgotten you
I could look at you and not care
I'd never cry o'er you again
I was wrong, and now I'm aware
But as I stood there, wrapped in his arms
You were miles away from my mind
Till I heard the first notes of that song
And I found myself in a bind
A mockery before my eyes
My love played out asa joke
As I stood there, forced to watch
The tears within me awoke
They couldn't know what it meant to me
There was no way they could have known
So I watched and tried to look amused
But the agony must have shown
For every time I'd heard that song
I had always thought of you
Now watching all of this unfold
I completely come unglued
Why does it pain me after so long?
Why was I so tempted to run?
You weren't supposed to be on my mind
This was just supposed to be fun
And at last the jest was over
Wrapped in his arms once again
Gripping him tight, blinking back tears
Waaiting for the pain to end
And by the time the night was over
You were miles away from my mind
The word for the night was "amazing"
And once more I was feeling fine
And falling asleep, I was at peace
But when I awake the next day
The pain erupts in me again
And I pretend to be okay
