Story Behind The Song

This song was inspired by a dear friend of mine who had a similar experience.

Song Description

This song relates the story of a man at odds with the struggle to reconcile and regain himself. The memories and pain of a broken relationship have left him with the only option he can live with...to try to forget some of his past.

Lyrics

My old friends come around,
almost every evening.
And they ask me how I'm doin',
and if I'm still believin'.
Then I look out the window,
not listenin' to a word;
because I'm still pretendin'.
That you're still here, somewhere, across town,
I don't care.
No, not at all.
Then they get tired of watchin' me
and shake their heads;
and move along.
Then I'm here
alone,with me.
Can't they see?

You're not on my mind,
not again today.
And you're not gonna try,
this heart this way.
No your memory won't find me no more.
No you're not on my mind.

(Bridge)
And if this pain is killin' me,
and if it won't ever let go,
then I'll try and face it alone;
and everbody's gonna see,
and maybe they'll know.
You're not on my mind.

And I walk for miles,
sometimes not even rememberin' my own name.
And I feel the hurt.
So I tell it to leave me alone,
I don't need a friend like you,
anyway.
But I'll get along,
some way.

'Cause you're not on my mind.
Though it seems that way.
And your lost love won't find,
this heart's lost way.
No I won't let you win anymore.

No you're not on my mind.
No you're not on my mind.
