I was cleaning out the cobwebs
from the corners of my mind.
When I stumbled across some memories
from an old and painful time.

Be careful in what you wish for,
It's sometimes - what you get.

As I dusted off the memories
the hurt returned anew.
Like a thousand color photographs,
every one of them - of you.

Be careful in what you wish for,
It's sometimes - what you get.

As I stand beside the headstone
The tears run down my face.
I try to say I'm sorry,
But new words take their place.

You - I didn't wish for,
The treasure I didn't get.

Reliving the painful memories
Wrapped in ribbons of regret.
The true love I never dreamed of
The one ... I can't forget.
