Yesterday's Pain

Why must I compare each love to the last?
Why can't I get over the things in my past?
Why can't I just live in your love every day?
Instead of always thinking that I'll have to pay?

Each time I have loved, I have given my all.
And when it was over, I had to stand tall.
I pretend that maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Then I find myself wondering, could it have been me?

Was I once again living in yesterday?
When I should be thinking of only today.
Why can't I remember the things that were bad?
The times that I cried,..the times I was sad?

Instead I choose to think things were right.
Not the times I spent crying myself to sleep every night.

I just need to stop and make myself realize,
the feeling I get when I look in your eyes.
I see nothing but love, but of that subject you can't speak.
You too have been hurt, and your heart, too, is weak.

So, hand in hand, we both walk in fear.
Dreading the pain that might come from the one we hold dear.
We both need to search each others heart.
I think if we do this we'll know where to start.

We'll start by forgetting the ones that went wrong,
and make this end up being a true love song.
