I look at you now
And memories spill
They remind me of what you were
And I drink them down with a pill

There's nothing left of you
That's all I can say
Why can't you see how hard it is-
To keep my memories at bay

I liked you for who you were
Not for what you pretend to be
I loved you for what you weren't
Not what you strive to be

Open your eyes
See what I'm seeing
Don't you miss it?
Your wonderful being

I miss what you were
Mourn for what you have lost
Why cant you go back?
Stop taking the cost

Now you're just a shell
A vision of what you used to be
I no longer see you
Only what you want me to see
