No Good

In my past I thought you were the one
Down a path you lead me wrong
It hurts to say, but I see the truth –
You lied to me, and now I must recoup

I think about you often, on days like this
I knew so much better, and yet I chose this
So mad at myself for letting you in
Now what I do to keep away from the sin

You lied to me remember?
You said there was love –
Unfortunate that the memory of you still last
It haunts me, and creeps up from my past

I want you gone, and the memory of you erased
You were no good – and yet still you remain
A strong memory – that is no good for me
It hurts to know that it will never leave

How will I explain to anyone else?
When will you be the thought on the shelf
Quickly forgotten, that’s what I want you to be
You took so much that I cannot relieve

In my past I thought you were the one
Down a path, you lead me wrong
It hurts to say, but I see the truth
You lied to me, and now I must recoup
