Get Out Of My Head

I locked you away
As a forbidden memory
Trying to make you
A piece of history

My mind tried to wipe you
Out of existence
But for some reason my heart
Put up resistance

I don't want this love
I don't want to miss you
But maybe it's my punishment
For what I put you through

You deserve better than me
I honestly admit this
So get out of my head
Go find true joy and bliss

Although I'm not the person
You used to know
It was for the best
You let me go

What you needed from me
I couldn't give you at the time
Trying to make you stay
Would have been a crime

Now my heart is beating faster
And my hands are shaking
Get out of my head
This is a mistake I'm making

I refuse to want you
I've got to stop thinking
But in a flood of memories
Deeper I'm sinking

I'm not going to look for you
Where would I start
The only place I've found you
Was in my heart

Who am I kidding
I wish you would return
And prove that of all the bridges
There's one I didn't burn

I wish I could show you
I've made a change
But I know you're too far
Out of my range

I said I don't want this love
But that was a lie
You're a part of my past
I just can't deny

Maybe we'll meet again one day
And my dream will come true
But right now there's someone at the door
And she looks just... like... you...
