Forgotten Scars

Forgotten scars I met an old friend- haven't seen in a while he wore a strange look on his face.... how you been doing, what's happened to your smile? He said "it's not the time or place... Well, I don't need to imagine, all the lies he's heard (will he believe me-or does he believe her?) What makes a wise man, believe all that he hears? Does he forget all he knows? Give into his fears? Bridge 1 I forgot to remember all the pain but...it's coming back to me now Why did she go, and leave me that day? Some things are still a mystery, maybe it's better...this way! Chorus Though it hurts me to think back, I don't want to remember How her lips turned so cold, that day in December. She must have forgotten about my heart, and...how she promised forever Should I say the truth- say the truth cut open again...forgotten scars. Sometimes rumors are so tasty, swallowed whole while still alive and...before we realize it, we're digesting all the lies. Strange how quickly traitors leave, without ever giving thanks Don't believe them, or cash the checks from their bankrupt memory banks Bridge 1 I forgot to remember all the pain but...it's coming back to me now Why did she go, and leave me that day? Some things are still a mystery, maybe it's better...this way! Chorus Though it hurts me to think back, I don't want to remember How her lips turned so cold, that day in December. She must have forgotten about my heart, and...how she promised forever Should I say the truth- say the truth cut open again...forgotten scars. Should I say the truth- say the truth cut open again...forgotten scars. Should I say the truth- say the truth cut open again...forgotten scars. repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton December 28,2018
