Pictures in my pocket
Are faded from the washer
I can barely just make out your face
Looking at this picture of us. Your face is almost unrecognizable. I stare it sadly. It was one of my favorites. It was from our date at the carnival. I had convinced you to do the movie cliche, the photo booth. Your holding the teddy bear I won you in your arms.
The smile on your face is radiant and sincere, it breaks my heart everytime. At that moment I believed that was the smile of you being happy and in love. Satisfied with me. Now that I see the smile that he gets when no one else is looking , I know better. That's you in love and happy.
Food you saved for later
In my refrigerator
It's been so long since later never came
Yesterday I almost broke down infront of Henry. He asked why I had a weeks old piece of apple pie in the fridge. You bought two days before you left. You were saving it for dessert for pasta fridays. Since I was cooking you joked that at least one thing should be edible.
I almost flipped out on him, when he almost threw it away. I must of looked like a mental patient argueing on why I shouldn't throw away a moldy piece of pie. I'll be awaiting Archie coming to offer himself to help by tomorrow. They won't understand why. Why I still hold on.
I know
One day eventually
Yeah,I know
One I'll have to let it all go
But I keep it just in case
In case
You don't find what you're looking for
In case
You're missing what you had before
In case
You change your mind, I'll be waiting
In case
You just want to come home
I still hold on to dreams of you returning to me. I rather live within those dreams now. It hurts more everytime I wake up. I'd roll over searching to pull you close to me. I wake up to cold sheets and an apartment. I begin to rethink my choices, everything I could of done differently.
Strong enough to leave you
But weak enough to need you
Cared enough to let you walk away
I think what haunt me the most, is that I let you go. I told you to go. And I hate myself for it. You were prepared to let your past go, for me. You were ready to let him go for me. Your chance at the happy ending you always deserved.
I saw the way you looked at him, the expression you got when you talked about him. The saying of letting setting something free and if it comes back it's your and if it doesn't it was never yours to begin with.
Everyday that passes I lose a little bit more hope of you ever returning to me. Everytime you laugh at his quirky behavior. You look younger with him, unguarded as you were with me. Much more relaxed. Free. I know I should let go. Let go of the memories, the things I held on to, my love for you. I should letting go of you.
I took that dirty jacket
From trasgh right where you left it
'Cause I couldn't standto see it go to waste
I know
One day eventually
Yeah, I know
One day I'll have to let it all go
But I'll keep it just in case
Yeah I keep it just in case
In case
You don't find what you're looking for
In case
You're missing what you had before
In case
You change your mind, I'll be waiting
In case
You just want to come home
I want to move on. Let go of the hope of you and I. I build my resolve to not look for you in he crowds, to not day dream of the life we almost would of had. to try not to even think of you. I come out of the door refreshed.
But then I'll see you looking at me. Your eyes linger on me a bit longer. Then you turn back to Him. When it happens you seem distracted for a moment. Your eyes seem far away. Just by that one lingering look I regain all the hope I have lost. My heart hopes that maybe if I hold on a little longer. Things might change.
In case
Your looking in that mirror one day
And miss my arms
How they wrapped around your waist
I say that you can love me again
Evenif it isn't the case
ohh
You don't find what you're looking for
Ohh
You're missing my love
You don't find what you're looking for
In case
You're missing what you had before
In case
You just want to come home
In case
Yeah, ooh
