Thinking about not thinking about you

I can go through the days without your smile
I can live forever never hearing your name
Never reliving the laughs and the tears and the pain
I can go on with my life and be more than just fine
Spend my time thinking about not thinking about
When you were mine

When I had someone to hold
And someone to be
And someone who thought perfection was me
I think back on those times
And I laugh and I cry
And I try to remember
When I didn’t think about
Having to think about
How to get by

Every day brings something new
Something with nothing to do with you
Our love has passed-I know that now
And I’m doing the best that I know how
Taking one more breath
Singing one more song
Trying to think about not thinking about just getting along
Trying to think about not thinking about you

I know that you can’t understand how
We can be together but aren’t right now
Being alone is scary and new
And not something that I normally do
I know that this is best for me
But take solace in knowing
That there are times where I can only think about

The days when I had someone to hold
And someone to be
And someone who thought perfection was me
I think back on those times
And I laugh and I cry
And I remember
When I didn’t think about
Having to think about
How to get by
