Yesterday's just a memory.. 
        that seems so far away...

And love is just a word.. 
        that people like to say,

I could say that I don't know ..  
        I could say that it was you...

But it wouldn't change whats in my heart
        or what is or isn't true,

I could dwell on words.. or dwell on pain,
         I could sit alone and cry...

But those are places that I've been.. 
         as I fell for every lie,

So please don't say how much you care 
         when I know how much you don't,

Or tell me that your going to change.. 
         when we both know  you won't

I'm letting go.. because you can't hold on
        when theres nothing to hold on to,

I guess you never saw the dreams.. 
        I saw for me and you,

I can't make you love..
        for love comes from the heart...

And the only love you've ever shown..
        has torn my world apart,

So let this be the ending..
        of a fairytale gone bad...
And the wind blown scattered pieces..
        of  love I never had.
