What Happened Then

What about now?
What happened then shouldn't
Have affected me
But it does
I can't control this
My tears fall like rain

What about now?
What happened in the past
Should be gone
But it's not
I can't believe this
My heart breaks like mirrors

So here's to you
Congratulations on hurting me
Again and again
I feel lost and confused
And it's dark
Here's to you
Congratulations on being like them
Again and again
I'm alone and confused
And it's dark

What about now?
What happened back there
Should be over
But it's not
I can't understand this
My voice cracks in the phrases

What about now?
What happened every time
Should have been forgotten
But they aren't
I can't follow this
My heart sings for an answer

Here's to you
Congratulations on hurting me
Again and again
I'm lost and confused
And it's dark
Here's to you
Congratulations on being like them
Again and again
I'm alone and lost
And it's dark

Sometimes Comical Relief Isn't That Funny

Isn't it funny
How when we look back
We know what should
Have been said?

Isn't it funny
That feelings like these
Still can't be forgotten
And released?

Isn't it funny
How when we look back
We know what
To blame?

Isn't it funny
How we've grown?

What I Know Now

There we have it
That reason for me to forget
Why is it that the guilt
Can never cease?

I asked for release
I got it
But the memories are
Never gone

I know it's not my fault
I know it's for the best
I know it's what I wanted
But why is it so hard?

Everytime it leaves my mind
The past comes back to haunt me
And I don't want it
I don't want it

I asked for a chance
I got it
But the past can never
Let me go

I know it's not my fault
I know it's for the best
I know it's what I wanted
But why is it so hard?

And I know it wasn't easy
I know it wasn't fair
I know it messed up the balance
We worked so hard to get

I asked for a chance
I got it
But the past can never
Let me go

I know it wasn't easy
I know it wasn't fair
I know it fixed the balance
That I knew wasn't there

I know that I can do this
I know I can forget
I know that I am stronger
Than I ever knew
