Verse 1:
Looking back
On the love that I have left
I wished that I had never met
You
But at times I smile picturing
The view
Of lovers happily as one
Reminiscing now on memories that have
Begun
Sad because I know now their just portraits of
The sun
As my tears wash away the gloss on our photograph
That the drug store probably charged me extra for
I utter a harmful laugh
That pulls me deeper into more
Chorus:
And it’s hard not to regret
How I let
My heart fall
And it’s hard not to regret
The first night
Our lips met
Now there’s just memories
Fading slowly away
As I glance back now
I see part of your face
And I realize how much
I hope that picture never goes away
Verse 2:
Staring now
Into your fading eyes in my dreams
I wish you would come back to me, just one
Last touch
Could we try this in reverse, or would that be
Too much
Into the past I thought I would never want to go back
But I would die for a chance to do it right this
Time
The present to me makes no difference if the past consumes
My mind
And as I reflect on a movie that I thought to at first be crazy
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I now get the middle, not the end, it’s still a little hazy
Maybe I need to watch it one more time
Chorus:
And it’s hard not to regret
How I let
My heart fall
And it’s hard not to regret
The first night
Our lips met
Now there’s just memories
Fading slowly away
As I glance back now
I see part of your face
And I realize how much
I hope that picture never goes away
