Memories come floodin' back through a veil of tears

But I've been almost happy for just the past two years

The word's out that she's come back and the thought makes me tremble

It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember



Seconds to remember all the things that used to be

Seconds to remember how much she meant to me

Love has burst a flame from a dying ember

It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember



As I recall the day she left with somebody new

I vowed that I'd forget her any way I could

The minute I heard she was back I felt the same old hunger

It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember



Seconds to remember all the things that used to be

Seconds to remember how much she meant to me

Love has burst a flame from a dying ember

It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember
