Tearstains

Yesterday, I found a picture of you and me
It reminded me of how things used to be
I used to pray that you’d return
Then my anger started to burn
You never wrote, you didn’t phone
This house has been so alone
Tearstains, the souvenir you left behind
Tearstains, I wanna get you out of my mind
You walked out on me when I needed you here
You left me with nothing more than a tear
How could you treat me that way
When you were my night and my day?
I gave you all I possessed
And you paid me back with emptiness
Tearstains, the souvenir you left behind
Tearstains, I wanna get you out of my mind
This picture of you is fading away
Why do the memories have to stay?
I want to forget you ever were here
The days and the weeks became my year
I’m trying hard to forget the way you made me feel
Yes, I am, baby
The sparkle in your eyes still seems so real
I can feel both love and hate
When I think back to our first date
You swept me off my feet, but now I feel incomplete
Tearstains, the souvenir you left behind
Tearstains, I wanna get you out of my mind
Yesterday when I picked up the picture and saw your face
I thought about all the things we did together
And all the places we went together
All the love we made together
And I cried and I cried
Tearstains, the souvenir you left behind
Tearstains, I wanna get you out of my mind
Oh, I wanna get you out of my mind
I want to get you out of my mind
(Tearstains, the souvenir you left behind)
But I can’t, but I can’t
(Tearstains, I wanna get you out of my mind)
I think about you all of the time
