Never Forget

He's living in the memory
Of their days in the sun
Innocence unknowing
Of the darkness all around

Never forget
The way they loved
The way they fought, and cried, and laughed
And held onto to each other when
Things turned bad
As they always seemed to do
Long ago and far away from here

She's fighting to hang on
To what they tell her is best
It kills her to see a smiling face
Shining back at her from the mirror
When did she learn how to lie so well?

Never forget
The way they loved
The way they fought, and screamed, and whispered
And promised to always stay together
To comfort one another when things were sad
And nights were lonely and stretched forever
Another year another lover and it still feels the same

They watch him with patient eyes
Knowing where his thoughts are drifting
They nod at all his lies
When he says he's fine, he's not thinking of her

Never forget
The sparkle in his eyes
When she came and smiled and swept his cares away
Like the world could never come between them
Even when the walls came crashing down
And they pressed their faces to the ground
The fire burned, but they didn't know where
It burned across the walls they built inside

She's smiling now but they don't quite believe it
She says she's moved on finally
Can't look him in the eye
But she claims she's in love

Never forget
The way she loved him
Or how he broke her heart and mended it time and again
How she forgave every tear he ever caused, all of the pain
For just a simple smile she'd be his again
And she doesn't even care that she can't leave
All the memories in the past and truly move on
It's been years, and he's still in her dreams
Never Forget
