This song gets played a lot on radio in the UK...but I've never really listened to the words...I'll sing along but today I listened and had to share it with you guys (at the picnic)
I know that it's over But I can't believe we're through They said that time's a healer And I'm better without you It's gonna take time I know But I'll get over you
[Chorus:] Look at my life Look at my heart I have seen them fall apart Now I'm ready to rise again Look at my hopes Look at my dreams I'm building bridges from these scenes Now I'm ready to rise again
Caught up in my thinking, yeah Like a prisoner in my mind You pose so many questions But the truth was hard to find I better think twice I know That I'll get over you
[Chorus]
Much time has passed between us Do you still think of me at all? My world of broken promises Now you won't catch me when I fall
------------------------------
The farther I get from the "newcomer fever" the more I realize that the hurt and pain I felt inside wasn't imposed by him but by things I'd believed wrongly to be true because our marriage was ending and because of choices he made.
He is still the man I met who literally tripped over himself opening the door for me on our first date, he's still the man I knew would be there for me no matter what....and I'm still the girl that he took one look at and said now this is the type of girl I should be with, the girl he said made him a better person, made him interested in the world around him. So maybe THOSE things aren't true anymore, but neither of us morphed into monsters overnight. I've forgiven him and accepted his choices. And I've forgiven myself and accepted that I can grow and not be afraid.
