on the eve of our supposedly 3rd anniversary

The Lover After Me
Savage Garden

Here I go again, I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just the that everywhere I go
All the buildings know your name like
Photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world
That didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny, but I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for you

Here I go again, I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name 'cause I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

I'm really sorry for acting the way I did. It was uncalled for, and it was probably the cheapest thing I could ever do. I was trying to hide the pain, trying to push the feeling of sadness, coping and learning to accept the fact that I have to learn how to live without you.

I don't hate you. As much as I want to, I can't. Despite everything you've done, I couldn't bring myself to hate you. No, I can't even get mad at you.

I'd be lying if I say I don't love you anymore, because I do. I still do.

But its not my place anymore. And I've accepted the possibility that you won't come back, that you won't fulfill your promise.

We're living separate lives now. I hope you're happy with the life you chose. You asked me to live, to take care of myself, to be happy. And I am.

There's just a part of me that misses you.
