"almost over you"

"i saw an old friend of ours today..."
----- though we never had a common friend,
"she asked about you and I didn't quite know what to say"
----- i do understand.
"heard you've been makin' the rounds round here"
----- and you heard it right,
"while I've been tryin' to make the tears disappear"
----- i don't know if you ever did.

"you're such a sly one with your cold, cold heart"
----- yes, i know that part.
"for you leavin' come easy but it tore me apart"
----- yes, i have heard it from your voice,
"time heals all wounds they say and I should know"
----- you won't be affected.
"'cause it seems like forever but I'm lettin' you go"
----- well, its for your own good.

"i can forgive you and soon I'll forget all my shattered dreams"
----- good to hear that,
"although you left with nothing to show but all misery"
----- i am really, REALLY SORRY...

"now I'm almost over you"
----- good for you.
"i've almost shook these blues"
----- it's nice to hear that.
"so when you come back around"
----- go on,
"after painting the town you'll see"
----- see what?
"I'm almost over you"
----- i may never recover.


i have caused you tremendous pain.
and yes, i may never recover.
im afraid to love someone,
because of what i have done to you.
