lyrics

Like a little drop of sadness
In a tear that I once shed
Thought I moved on years ago
But now I'm thinking of you instead

I can still feel the madness
see the storm clouds up ahead
When you fell into my arms
Then we rolled into my bed

Like a nuclear reaction
Only safe when it's contained
Started a chain reaction
And then the meltdown came

How can I forget you?
That crazy Love affair
Time can't erase memories
And why do I still care
How can I forget you?
and your crazy little ways
We didn't worry about tomorrows
We just had yesterdays

Confusion followed quickly
Then darkness filled the air
Nothing left but ashes
And a burned out hollow stare

Your chemical dependence
Like a knife right through my heart
Tried to be your savior
But never got very far

I don't know where you are now
Don't know what else I can say
Try and forget the memory
Probably better off that way

How can I forget you?
Sometimes I wish I could
Watched your self destruction
And none of it was good
How can I forget you?
How you threw it all away
Crippled by the poisons
Numbed by all your pain

Lessons life has taught me
All the new things that I know
How Love can't always conquer
So I had to let you go.
