Easy to Forget

I was sitting there
On the park bench
All drenched
In the rain
Trying to numb the pain
As I look across my hand
At the gift you gave
In the box you made
Realizing the time
Pretending everything’s fine
Fancy days at the restaurant
Blooming flowers at the dawn
Was it so easy to forget?
So easy to forget?
Long talks till late night
Expensive dinners in candlelight
Was it so easy to forget?
So easy to forget?
Yeah, I am here
Thinking you will come
Lessons learned
Understanding I’m crying
Over something that’s not mine
But all these thoughts
They fade away
My glimpses sway
At the sight of you
You’re here too!
Beach walks, stolen kisses
“Honey you’ll be my Mrs”
It wasn’t as easy to forget,
Not so easy to forget!
Oh no, I guess I was wrong
This doesn’t seem so well
Are you with someone else?
Those promises were so empty
A date at this park?
All lies from the start
Sparks flew when you met me
I was so naive then
Yeah, I’ll never love again.
