[Verse 1] Im reachin for the mantle where Your picture and a candle stand Too harsh a reminder to let stay So I find a drawer thats deep and safe And I turn around and I walk away Surprised that I have found the strength to last [Verse 2] And every time the phone will ring I cannot seem to help but think That maybe it is you there on the line But I know its not and I must agree It was all just too hard for you and me So the ringin goes unanswered every time [Chorus] And oh I am left with these reminders And oh wont this ahurtin ever mend And oh it hurts to turn around and find you gone And me here all alone again [Verse 3] That old man down at the coffee shop Still asks me every time I stop By the way, hows the nice lady been? I just say your doin fine And I hope Im right cuz I hate lying And truth be known Im awishin you all the best [Verse 4] But every black car at every red light Still takes my breath cuz I know it might Be you and thats just somethin I cannot deal with yet So I stick to roads that I know You would never have the cause to go And so far Ive only broke down twice thats right [Chorus] And oh I am left with these reminders And oh wont this ahurtin ever mend And oh it hurts to turn around and find you gone And me here all alone again [Verse 5] It all comes down to just one thought We thought we were but I guess were not And now weve got reminders all around You got yours and Ive got mine Someday well turn around and find That somewhere in the middle a truth was lying [Chorus] And oh well be free of these reminders And oh man this old hurt will finally mend Oh it wont hurt to turn and find you gone And me here all alone again
