Tearing Love Apart

Standing in the kitchen dusting off old boxes
Her eyes wander to the places her heart yearns to go
Forbidden yesterdays are always on the corner
But he's not there, he left her all alone

Don't open up those memories
They'll only drown you
Over and over
A dream was all it was
And all she's left with
Are these memories of him
Tearing love apart

Summer days out on the street
He looks at her with love spilling over and over
How can he be gone?
Now she's drowning in reality of it all
"Take it back, please take it back"
Can it be undone?
How can he be so far away?
She runs her fingers through his hair
And begs his soul, "Come back"

Don't open up those memories
They'll only drown you
Over and over
A dream was all it was
And all she's left with
Are these memories of him
Tearing love apart

Memories washed down the drain
It doesn't matter now
Years wasted, love useless
If he can't remember loving her now

Are you somewhere far away?
Somewhere in the clouds?
Or are you buried deep inside someone I used to love?
She wipes the dust from old boxes and the tears from her eyes
Moves on with her life with a stranger by her side

Don't open up those memories
They'll only drown you
Over and over
A dream was all it was
And all she's left with
Are these memories of him
Tearing love apart
