Bottled up inside
Are the words I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on my face.
Trapped inside are lies
From the past I can't replace.
With memories that linger,
And don't seem to go away.
Why can't I be happy that
Today's a brand new day?
Yesterday is over,
Even though the hurting's not.
Nothing lasts forever;
I must cherish what I've got.
Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone.
All you ever wanted
Was the love you thought you won.
The hurt I'm feeling now
Won't disappear overnight.
But someway, somehow,
Everything will turn out right.
No more wishing for the past;
It wasn't meant to be.
It didn't seem to last,
So I have to set it free.
