A Little at a Time

I got your letter Saying it's really done I can't make it better Guess it's time I moved along But I'll keep your sweater With the memories in this box And I'll just remember, remember, remember The first time you heard me sing You told your friend you'd keep and eye on me When you told me that story I was a fool to think that we were meant to be Oh these memories haunt me And I wanna let them go but I'm still breathing And as long as I'm alive You'll be there in my mind So I'll just forget you a little at a time You said you're sorry It had nothing to do with me I don't buy that story When you replaced me in a week Was all you did for me Just a red flag I should have seen? Now I remember, remember, remember You encouraged me to dream Gave me all the power to spread my wings And as soon as I took flight You took it back and took control of my light Oh these memories haunt me And I wanna let them go but I'm still breathing And as long as I'm alive You'll be there in my mind So I'll just forget you a little at a time My ego says I should've been The first to walk away But I can admit now I needed taking down a peg One day I'll throw away this box And what it holds Just take the lessons learned and go And let experience teach me That my heart will crack and break but keeps on beating And as long as I'm alive I will always be reminded That I'll keep on living Keep on learning Keep on loving A little at a time
