Memory is such a fickle friend
It can hold on to the pain of yesterday
This place has no pity
It's not hard to hate this city
Do you think you've found
your own place in the sun?
You are haunted by the spaces
that she leaves
Make you want to look the other way
The answer to the question
that you did n't want to ask
The one you've been avoid
in' every day
And it doesn't matter now
It didn't matter then
The only thing we choose
Is how to feel when we're losin'
Once the page is read
It's better thrown away
Were you stopped by the dancing,
the loving, standing up?
Stop by the laughing
and the face of giving up
Stop by the past when the fu
ture looks so good
Would you dance on your own grave
if you thought you could
Wish you're satisfied to simply walk away
To drop you from a life without a trace
But shit, seeing another as
you looked into her eyes
Or only the reflection of her face
It doesn't matter now
It didn't matter then,
the only thing we choose
Is how to feel when we're losing
Once the page is read, it's better thrown away
You've been carrying that
torch for far too long
To grieve beside a hole that isn't there
But the first time in your life
Be as brave as you are scared
Live it like you've lived it once before
Live it like you've
lived it once before
Cause it doesn't matter now,
it didn't matter then
The only thing you choose is how
to feel when we're losing
Once the page is read,
it's better thrown away
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, be
