the worst day

i thought that with time you would recede into the past
but every little memory of you was built to last
i could run a million miles away and you'd be there
i wish that i could lie and say that i no longer care

i'm remembering the worst day of my life
and you were there
you gave to me the worst day of my life
i didn't have a prayer
i just want to find a way to change the way i feel
but the shadows of the worst day of my life
come through too clear

they tell me that time can heal all wounds and fade the pain
but still a thought of you is more than strong enough to bring the rain
there was never gonna be a chance for you to be that way
waiting on a world i used to know that burned away

I'm remembering the the worst day of my life
and you were there
you gave to me the worst day of my life
i didn't have a prayer
i just want to find a way to change the way i feel
but the shadows of the worst day of my life
come through too clear
