Story Behind the Song
a song about a bad relationship which also ended badly. Feeling a bit like you were thrown on the side of the road like a spent styrofoam cup...
Lyrics
If I were able to change my choices
I would speak in a different voice, but I
wouldn't change my words,
come to think of it, I would never change the past
If I could take back one hurtful thing
a lie or maybe that pretty ring,
but I can't
go on and rant
let's see what this anger will bring
Lash out a little more
close the crack that once was an opening door
and throw around these judgements
like confetti at your sweet sixteen
You threw me
farther than I thought you could
bruised, bleeding, discarded
I'll try to keep my head
but don't wait around; I've found
my conscience, and how
What will it take to make
a lasting impression?
I don't even know what's at stake-
but now I'm broken apart
please, let me make a clean break
she tips the domino
sitting back, she watches them go
one-by-one
the damage is done
still she doesn't seem to care
You knew me
better than most ever will
you opened up my heart
I'll tell you
with tears behind my eyes
I will start, I'll try
and cry
to forget about you
[guitar solo]
You knew me
better than most ever will
you opened up my heart
I'll tell you
with tears behind my eyes
I will start, I'll try
and cry
to forget about you
forget about you
I'll try to forget about you
forget about you
cry to forget about you...
