I'M Not Over You

I'm not over you. 
My heart is still on the mend. 
But you've forgotten me, until you're lonely once again. 
I need someone new. 
Someone who cares only for me. 
But I get lonely too, and I can't hold your memory.
I give in again. 
When you come knocking on my door. 
I know better than to think you're different than you were before.
But I can't close my eyes
'Cause when I do your face I see. 
No, I'm not over you, and I can't hold your memory.
I'm alone again. 
I swear this time will be the last. 
But next time you come around, I'll give in like in the past. 
I should know better now
You've made it very plain to see. 
But I'm not over you, and I can't hold your memory.

Heartfelt words. Sometimes it takes us a while before we get the strength to say "no more". We all deserve better than to be used when someone gets bored...it can be difficult to walk away.
