Memory Lane

The same memory lane
that brings me laughter, causes me pain
sending my love into a strain

Do you realize?
this blank stare in my eyes
will only grow in size

I'm drifting away
sorrily I must say
I no longer feel the same way

Love has never been an easy road
For me, babe I carry a heavy load
Once upon a time my heart glowed

With love, for you 
then a cool blue
masked my love for you

With anger, and fear
I cannot stay here
with a man who was never sincere

In the beginning 
you spent your time sinning
my heart babe, my head is spinning

From each lie you spoke
treating us like a joke
sending my trust up in a cloud smoke

Now you wish to repair 
what has dissolved into thin air
it is unfair, but I must disappear

So now I say good bye my lover
I pray that you discover 
happiness and joy, to recover

Each piece of your heart
that me leaving tore apart
so as we depart

You must be strong
even if we do not belong
together, we have fought for too long
