So many bitter words were spoken 
The day we had that stupid fight 
I knew your heart was half broken 
As I retreated for the night 

I took too long to say I'm sorry 
Now someone else in my shoes
My friends they tell me not to worry
But I'm a wreck now we are through 

You've passed me by 
Out of my hands now
Gone are those embers 
That used to shine in your eyes
You've set your mind 
One someone else
I'm just a memory 
Like all the rest 

I must have left some small impression
At least a nail upon the wall
So many pinned up notes of passion
I know you loved to keep them all

Or have you tossed them in the dumpster
Along with all your souvenirs
Some other guy has got in faster
And like a fool I get the tears
