I won't try to stop you when you speak of the past   doubt is over now and I can join in when you laugh   fascination makes us ask for more than we like to know   I needn't explain, I think you know      reassure me when my heart's not bold enough to bear her name   if you were in my shoes and scared I would do the same   and though I may ask there's no need for past detail   for though I may laugh, alone my courage fails, did you know      see how I've changed now my head's so clear   still there are some things that I don't want to hear   there must be so much I know that you cannot forget   and I musn't wish your life began the day we met      places we go remind you of when you were here before   so you talk and tell me you don't think about it anymore   there is something I know that hasn't quite been left behind   so I'll ask you once again to prove that I don't mind
