• bottled up inside
    are the words i never said,
    the feelings that i hide inside,
    the lines you never read.

    you can see it in my eyes,
    read it on my face:
    trapped inside are lies
    of the past i can't replace.

    with memories that linger-
    won't seem to go away
    why can't i be happier?
    today's a brand new day.

    yesterday's are over,
    even though the hurtings not
    nothing lasts forever,
    i must cherish what i've got,

    don't take my love for granted,
    for soon it will be gone-
    all you ever wanted
    of the love you thought you'd won.

    the hurting i am feeling now.
    won't disappear over night
    but some day, some how,
    every thing will turn out all right,

    no more wishing for the past
    it wasn't meant to be.
    it didn't seem to last
    so i have to set him free.
