What Can'T Be Erased
I decided to make progressive steps
To erase you from my life
Rid myself of memories,
Of bitterness, and strife
Day one:
Deleting saved texts;
Messages of how you love me
(Now I’m deciding what comes next)
Day two:
Deleting pictures on my phone
Images of your beauty, your joy
(Wow, look how I’ve grown!)
Day three:
I’ve accomplished pressing “7”
(It’s the command to delete voicemail)
(Now it really should feel like heaven)
But with all I’ve achieved
Everything is still the same
Love seems to be toying with me
Playing its little game
Cuz no matter how much I’ve deleted
Love, I can’t outsmart
Erasing messages and pictures are one thing
But I can’t erase you from my heart
