Cold like dry ice intermingling with tears
Misting over memories of yesteryears
Out of touch with the present
Immersed in past loves
Comparing them one by one
With the currrent captor of my heart
Theeives with no honor
All one and the smae
They shed their outer shell
Redecorate their exterior and take on the persona of another
Then return undercover as a new lover
And so i go back to the past
And remember

Remember every smile, tear, and kiss
And try to match it to his
In order to uncover any trickery
He may share with my past loves
Like magic, his features may rearrange
And convert into that of treachery
His lovely lips may twist to spew deception
Acidic words that scorch my soul
Leaving a hole where love once thrived
Hope resuscitates my heart to beat once agan
So the current captor of my heart can hold it hostage

But to my dismay
Heartbreak has learn new tricks
It hides behind his touch
Crouched over and waiting
For the perfect opportunity to come out of hiding
Poised to take me by surprise
Starting with the lies
Paranoia grabs me by the throat
So I gasp questions to his every statement
Trust long ago fled along with any hope for real love
Still his mind and mine make love
Intertwined in thoughts and emotions
But even in pure rapture
I can't help but remember

Lusting for the caress of his voice
Wrapped around me, warm and comforting
Deviously lullin me into a sense of sercurity
Seductively dancing on my eardrums
Playing a fantastic rythm for me to love
His voice in tune with my heartbeat becomes my favortie song
Softly putting me to sleep like a lullaby
And I dream of my past loves
And how they, too, put me to bed
So I awake in a cold sweat from my nightmare
Staying up all night
Wondering when and where
Will he stumble and drop my heart
Breaking it into a million scattered pieces
I just can't afford it
With the rising cost of a broken heart

So I remember
Search through my Rolodex of sorrows
For the common theme of my failed relationships
So I will be able to sidestep the pain
Watch it disappear in my rearview mirror
And acquaint it with my back by putting it behind me
Although I'm enamored with him
I just can't help but remember
