It's not a simple case of breaking up

One chapter's closed, another has begun

Now I try to learn to call you my ex-lover

But how do you ex-love someone?



Are you a friend or foe or just a ghost?

I see the hurt so deep within your eyes

But the love runs deep as the river of our sorrow

With currents just as strong as family ties



All the men I've ever loved

Remain a part of me for good

I can't let them go completely

Even when my heart knows I should



Don't think it's easy for me

To watch our hopes turn to shattered dreams

It takes time to sincerely say goodbye

And it takes time for dreams to die



But I won't forget the way you held me tight

Not even if we're ever far apart

And the love we lost will in time be rediscovered

In another corner of the heart
