I assumed that it would forever be you;

your memory has always cast a (dark?) shadow over other possible ones.

When I admitted to you that you are my forever love, I felt free.

I can finally say “goodbye” and move on; it’s true.

I cannot believe it has taken me a decade to understand

until a friend opened my eyes and explained to me the way I truly feel.

I do not miss you nor do I miss the life we had planned;

instead, I long for the life I led when I could be molded by your hands.

Now, I can let him in.

Only, I am not sure he wants to begin with me again.

Why does your memory haunt me so?

It is past time for me to LET YOUR MEMORY GO!

Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie (acoustic)

On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don’t know why (your) still surprised

Even angels have their wicked schemes
And (I) take that to new extremes
But you’ll always be my hero
Even though (I’ve) lost (my) mind

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s all right because (you) love the way (I) lie
(You) love the way (I) lie
Ohhh, (you) love the way (I) lie

Now there’s gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war, (I’ll) always win
Even when (you’re) right

‘Cause (I) feed (you) fables from (my) hand
With violent words and empty threats
And it’s sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s all right because (you) love the way (I) lie
(You) love the way (I) lie
Ohhh, (you) love the way (I) lie

So maybe I’m a masochist
I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave
Til the walls are goin‘ up
In smoke with all our memories

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s all right because (you) love the way (I) lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
