	Story Behind the Song Somehow my imagination conjured up this scenario. Perhaps it's how I would expect an old flame to respond to my return. It was written and recorded in the Fall of 1998. Lyrics well I opened your letter and I sat down beside it and I wondered whatever possessed you to write it it's confusing somehow you had so much to say for the last time we spoke you were walking away "I just can't get your face off of my mind," you said but my last vision of you is the back of your head and your eloquent offer was clever design but my decision was easy, I will have to decline because it's too late to say I'm sorry don't make excuses for your usual flaws it's too late to say I'm sorry don't waste your time I've been long since a lost cause I remember the passion, and your frantic allure but the stress was too much for my heart to endure the ado of desire, the acumen of your lies made my energy drop and my blood pressure rise there was danger each evening that you'd come through my door 'twas that quality time I had come to abhor and your constant appraisals, in their spiritless tone made me yearn for the days when I was alone (chorus) too late to polish what left of your image it's a shattered reflection I see good thing it was over before looking at you was too much like looking at me I don't mean to sound angry, don't mean to be cruel you're not guilty of being a chump and a tool though you left me so prideless, so lifeless and sad I can't blame you for taking what I never had so I hope all is well now, that you're happy and true and I won't bother to tell you what you never knew I refuse to be spiteful, I won't take any names just one last look at your words as they go up in flames (chorus) Copyright ã 1998 Bob O'Dair
