Dissolving Substance

You just reminded me of my favorite word Regret Close your eyes and count to ten And don't forget to remember That I'm the one who hurt you Write me into your life Give me a leading role Memorize this impending make up The one when you realize I broke in the first place And you still expected me To clean up the fragments of you Stop and stare straight ahead I'm not the one you think I am I am the one you knew It's not about the stinging pangs of pride It's about you and me And him in between Can you stand much more of this? Staring straight through me At every awkward opportunity But it's almost over now I've almost forgetten you You said You'd never Leave me But you did You did And so it comes to this Another purposeful forget-me-not And you're the one who promised You'd never leave
