Order soon to see the exclusive misspelling of the word "needed" on the inside fold. That mistake will be fixed on the next run, so ya know, you wouldn't want to miss that.

lyrics
I passed you on the road today
I saw everything that’s changed
Three seconds of silence speak louder than words
The look on your face can’t be misheard
Time stands still in moments of pain
I’m left to face things left unexplained
This belt and this door can’t keep inside
The thoughts that we left behind
---
Everything that you told me I was
I can’t make it go away
All the plans that we’ve left undone
I can’t make them go away
All the melodies we’ve left unsung
I can’t make them go away
I’m far from being numb inside
---
I turned that corner and I saw your face
It wasn’t a coincidence, I’ve been scouring this place for an
encounter with you because I want to prove to myself I’m alright now
Only I’m not
---
All the postcards and letters clawing my brain
I can’t make them go away
All the thoughts of roaming hands being carefully placed
I can’t make them go away
Another day another girl left unloved
I can’t make this go away
---
All the times that you’ve shut me out
I can’t make them go away
All the words that you spoke in a kinder voice
I can’t make them go away
Every time that I think of your fucking eyes
I wish I’d been fucking blind
Darling, it should come as no surprise
I can’t make this go away
As I steady the shake coursing through my hands
I can’t seem to understand
How the distance between us has grown so wide
Now it’s pain and disdain inside
I’m waiting on the healing hands of time
I can’t keep these thoughts confined
God damn these memories our town holds
I can’t make them go away
I can’t make this go away
---
These streets and these homes have a soul all their own
We will never be left alone
I turn these corners and I see your face
I can’t make it go away
