Traces

When the dead distance
Is all that I see anymore,
Thoughts of you...

My memories can never be taken from me
And what we had will never fade,
This is the one promise I can make
In all confidence that it is not a lie...

Like all of the wordless lies I tell,
As I am forced to pretend every day...

That it doesn't hurt anymore
That I'm completely over you
That I never really cared about you
That I don't love you with all of my soul
That if I had only one wish in all the world,
It wouldn't be for you...

The faintest trace
Scrapes across my heart...

And it's like fiery daggers
Digging into old wounds,
The searing pain will never die...

It is in this way
That we find eternity...
