Trying to forget someone you once loved is like trying to remember someone you never knew.<br /> <br /> Phil 1:7- For it is right of me to feel this way about you because I hold you very dear to my heart.

You’re waiting all alone here
Searching for an answer
But when you find it
You’ll shrivel up inside

They haven’t found an antidote
Knowing is a poison
Hope is what’s keeping you alive

Fairy tales are fake
Your dreams turned to dust
Trying lands you face down
On the ground
Stop all your useless crying
All the tears in the world
Won’t save you from where
You landed now
