And So Do You

You can pretend I never happened Expunge me from you mind Exorcize the ghost of me Leave it all behind You can play the role of happy On your convoluted stage Recite the same old monologue Act profoundly unafraid Go ahead, do all those things But that won't change the truth That once we flamed each others souls I remember, And so do you. I know you still must think of me You miss my skin, my touch The way my teeth would nip your lips You couldn't get enough But now that it's all over You want to show me that it's fine But I see you and I know you Staring at me all the time I caught that little flicker The dancing in your eyes I feel the heat, the want it in I recognize the signs So keep saying you've forgotten Denying 's what you do But that won't change the simple fact That I remember And so do you.
