Turning the Page

(Verse] Turning the pages soft and slow The long past feels like today’s blow. There you are a shadow in the ink, A "nice" person, a later rethink. [Prechorus] I tried my best to help you, no lie. You spat it in my face, no goodbye. [Chorus] But I'll read on I won’t hide Your name won’t sting where I now reside The pain is sharp but it won't stay Old wounds twinge but will fade away. [Verse 2] We weren’t close, just ships passing by. Yet I tried my best to help you with no reply. Disdain your blank face modus operandi. I shouldn’t care but I’m not made that way [Prechorus] I tried my best to help you, no lie. You spat it in my face, no goodbye. Chorus] But I'll read on I won’t hide Your name won’t sting where I now reside The pain is sharp but it won't stay Old wounds twinge but will fade away. [Verse 3] None of it matters, it’s long gone. A minor storm when all said and done. It’s the new now and the new me. I want to expunge the past and be free. Chorus] So I'll read on, I won’t hide I’ll take things more in my stride. There are lovely memories on every page You won’t catch me out, again.
