you said you couldn't be it
you said the time was bad
our lives shouldn't entwine
what happened, you asked
it isn't good for me
i'm not ready now
you're not gonna wait
so you'd better move on
so now i've layed you in a box
on a piece of tissue paper
all my crumpled memories
the good ones and the bad
i closed the box shut tight
tied it with a string
put it on a shelf at the back of my mind
i'll never let you out
thats not what i planned
i'll keep my eyes closed tight to miss
your smile and your heart
whenever i see you
alone or with her
pease don't be surprised if
i blink and walk away
