It's not a simple case of breaking up  One chapter's closed, another has begun  Now I try to learn to call you my ex-lover  But how do you ex-love someone?  Are you a friend or foe or just a ghost?  I see the hurt so deep within your eyes  But the love runs deep as the river of our sorrow  With currents just as strong as family ties  All the men I've ever loved  Remain a part of me for good  I can't let them go completely  Even when my heart knows I should  Don't think it's easy for me  To watch our hopes turn to shattered dreams  It takes time to sincerely say goodbye  And it takes time for dreams to die  But I won't forget the way you held me tight  Not even if we're ever far apart  And the love we lost will in time be rediscovered  In another corner of the heart
