Lying to Forget
This lie's become a part of me
 For months, I've played this game
 Acting like it doesn't hurt
 Each time I hear his name
 Ignoring what's inside of me
 Pretending I've moved on
 As if the feelings I once had
 For him are somehow gone
 Spending each and every day
 With happiness and laughs
 Forgetting all our memories
 Avoiding photographs
 But last night when I saw him
 For the first time since he left
 My heart stopped for a moment...
 I couldn't catch my breath
 When suddenly it hit me
 As the tears started to flow
 That even after all this time...
 I just can't let him go
