lyrics

Strange to see them then,
Different from the people I know,
And it hurts to see her so beautiful and young,
And it hurts to see how handsome and strong he was,
Do their smiles tell lies?
I won't ask,
The memories aren't mine,

I can't recall a time when they touched like that,
Sure of what they are,
But I can't think of a moment when I ever
Questioned what they were,
I was so sure that they had never been anybody else,
But now I see how wrong I was
Assuming that their lives began with mine,

Do their smiles tell lies?
I won't ask,
The memories aren't mine,

I must accept that I can't see them beyond myself,
But I know that I'm just like them,
So I shouldn't have to ask,

I've been the one that's been left,
And the one to leave,
So I could forgive him of that,
But I'm unsure how she could do the same,
Maybe she never has,
Is that why she kept his name?

Their smiles don't tell lies,
They just can't see what I know now,
I wish I could keep them from what I know now.
