a helpless plea

Close the book to your past,

It's over and done with.

Look at today,

Joy in who you've become, what you have

Forget yesterday,

If not for you, then for me

You once told me I make your today better

than your past could ever be

Close the book,

I hate the tears, they lasted  years

please baby, I can't take it

Burn the book,

Then we can forget it

I'll get the wood

if you get the matches,

There, a fire,

I've thrown mine in,

Let go baby,

please throw your's in too,

if not for me, then you

I love you with all my heart,

but if you can't let go,

Why even start?
