Lyrics
She's lays in bed alone and wonders what went wrong
One day it was all good, and the next day he was gone
How many times did she hear...this won't happen to us
She never saw it coming, what they had seemed good enough
Thinking back on the good times, her smile starts turning sad
What good are memories if they shatter what you had
Tomorrow'll be better, now her heart is lost again
She cries herself to sleep, tries not to dream of him
(chorus)
She has pictures and memories she'd do anything for his touch
Hanging on to history, she hopes she had enough
He's not there, not coming back, but she sees him everywhere
She has pictures and memories but she tries not to care
(bridge)
Holding on to shame and blame, can she remember how to live
It's not that she's forgotten how, she doesn't know where to begin
No...
Old friends not calling back... doesn't bother her anymore
She moves along, carries on, day to day just like before
Puts this all behind her, gets used to him being gone
It's not what she hoped for..but it's okay, she's getting strong
(chorus, fade)
She has pictures and memories but she tries not to care
