It's not a simple case of breaking up One chapter's closed, another has begun Now I try to learn to call you my ex-lover But how do you ex-love someone? Are you a friend or foe or just a ghost? I see the hurt so deep within your eyes But the love runs deep as the river of our sorrow With currents just as strong as family ties All the men I've ever loved Remain a part of me for good
I can't let them go completely Even when my heart knows I should Don't think it's easy for me To watch our hopes turn to shattered dreams It takes time to sincerely say goodbye And it takes time for dreams to die But I won't forget the way you held me tight Not even if we're ever far apart And the love we lost will in time be rediscovered In another corner of the heart
