    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...
