Inside

Not mine...

bottled up inside
are the words i never said
the feelings that i hide
the lines you never read

you can see it in my eyes
read it on my face
trapped inside are the lies
waiting to replace

with memories that linger--
wont seem to go away
why cant i be happier?
today's a brand new day

yesterdays are over
even though the hurting is not
nothing lasts forever
i must cherish what Ive got

don't take my love for granted
or soon it will be gone--
all you ever wanted
of the love you thought you've won

the hurt I'm feeling now
wont go away over night
but someway, somehow
everything will be alright

no more wishing for the past
it wasn't meant to be
it didn't seem to last
so i have to set you free.
