Last Night
Last night I forgot to love you, and you weren't
in my dreams
I didn't feel your arms around me, as funny as
it seems
Last night I forgot to miss you, and my heart
felt just fine
I didn't want to hear your voice, since you are
no longer mine
Last night I forgot your smile, and the funny things
you used to do
I didn't have to pretend to be happy, since I know
longer love you
Last night I forgot how good it felt just to have
you there
I didn't have to think of the times I knew you'd
always care
Last night I forgot you had my heart at one time,
even if no one ever knew
I didn't want to believe I could hurt, since there is
no me and you
Because I didn't want to remember you told me we should
just be friends
I didn't act like pain absorbed me, though I wonder
if my heart will ever mend
