Can'T Erase the Past

It caught me by complete surprise To turn around and be looking into your eyes Close enough to touch, close enough to kiss A feeling I'm not so sure I miss What we had has come and passed To try and fix would be like trying to mend broken glass Though once again it may be whole The cracks and breaks are bound to show Some things are better left in the past Cuz not everything is meant to last Tears were dried, smiles shared Once upon a time it was obvious we both cared But somewhere along the way From then until that October day We let the love we once felt fade And yet every picture and memory made After all this time I've held onto Cuz every now and then I still think of you And I know you're holding someone new There's a new man in my life too But he can't erase what used to be Or how much you once meant to me It's funny how one place, one song Can make you wonder if here is where you belong After all you've been here before So sure after this there'd be no more Love is found and love is lost And the pain you bare you bare is quite the cost
