Cut and Paste

i wish i could cut you out of my life and paste in someone that wouldn't destroy me.
i want to erase your memory, but the photographs remind me.
i loved you too much and now it's killing me.
i walked the same path every day for so many years and i never saw it,
but now i'm seeing everything.

my heart is shattered and you're a free man.
no matter how many tears i cry;
nothing will change the fact you're gone, you're gone.

people change.
people grow.
people drift apart.
so every keeps telling me, but i don't care about people.
i only care about you.

when did we lose each other's pulse?
when did we get out of step?
i still remember every dance.
in my heart, we aren't that far apart, but you're still gone, you're gone.

i scream.
i lash out.
i get mean.
but after all the rage runs out,
nothing has changed, you're gone, you're gone.

i'm cold.
i'm alone.
i'm empty inside my heart.
why?
why?
why are you gone?
