you said you couldn't be it   you said the time was bad   our lives shouldn't entwine   what happened, you asked   it isn't good for me   i'm not ready now   you're not gonna wait    so you'd better move on   so now i've layed you in a box   on a piece of tissue paper   all my crumpled memories   the good ones and the bad   i closed the box shut tight   tied it with a string   put it on a shelf at the back of my mind   i'll never let you out   thats not what i planned   i'll keep my eyes closed tight to miss   your smile and your heart   whenever i see you   alone or with her   pease don't be surprised if    i blink and walk away
