Clean Breaks.

Jun 25, 2008 16:59

I can't say I miss you;
That would be a lie.
It's every other noise
and every other cry
that makes me wonder why;

A summer sun faded away
as tomorrow became yesterday
To be forgotten with the turning of the tides
That carried your boat further away from me.

As oceans become walls
names just footnotes in history
There's a peace of mind
and a space of memory
That'll can't fathom why

A summer sun faded away
as tomorrow became yesterday
To be forgotten with the turning of the tides
That carried your boat further away from me.

It's not your face or name
That plagues my mind
It's every other breath;
and every other sigh -

A mere idea
of what you meant
to me.

And now there's no ship to sail.
No heart with which I could hope
That one day I'll fill the hole
torn in everything once believed.

So don't waste your sympathy
Because today's a day for forgetting
The memories you left with me
I'm making clean breaks
clean breaks
clean breaks

As summer sun fades away,
as tomorrow becomes yesterday
You'll be forgotten with the turning of the tides
That carried that life further away from me.
