Does everything seem so different
When looked at in reverse
Do bad times appear better
Or do good times play out worse

Does your mind lie to you
To hide the awful things
Or build up the so-so years
To make you feel a king of kings

The detail always vanishes
Lost somewhere in the mire
Of flashbacks and day dreams
No pain, want or desire
The arguments always fade away
Disappearing in the mist
No angry words, raised voices
Or shaking of clenched fist
I wish I could recall
Every word and scent
Each specific, single moment
For you my heart was meant

Why does it look so altered
When I spin my head around
And take a look at times gone by
Go over once-familiar ground

Wish I could recall
Each detail so petite
And my memory would not serve to
Scheme, deceive and cheat

No pleasure without pain
I know, there's truth in that
Am prepared for all the bad
To bring the good right back

The detail always vanishes
Lost somewhere in the mire
Of flashbacks and day dreams
No pain, want or desire
The special moments fade away
Disappearing in the mist
No gentle words, warmth enveloping
Or feeling softly kissed
I wish I could recall
Every word and scent
Each specific, single moment
For you my heart was meant
