Lyrics
people change
were you confused or was it that you lied?
only change
when I received your letter i broke down and cried
i couldn't eat i couldn't sleep
had to erase you from my life
it's so strange
i was looking through a scrapbook i had hidden from my wife
very strange on an old card you wrote i meant something in your life
i couldn't eat i couldn't sleep
had to erase you from my life
no evidence
i'll destroy
all of the things you gave me i don't need a test
so, so coy
to save the memory or destroy it like the rest?
i couldn't eat i couldn't sleep had to erase you from my life
no evidence
