Lyrics

I hear your whispers on the wind
Sometimes
I hear you clawing at my door
I feel your fingers on my flesh
Sometimes
I hear your footsteps on my floor
And when the night falls I see you
Waiting
Out of the corner of my eye
Is it the walls or just my knees
Shaking
When you ensnare me with that smile
That wicked smile

Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget the way we used to sway?
Why did I ever even try
To dance with a memory?

And when I'm drifting off to sleep
Each night
I feel you shifting in my bed
There isn't anyone to call for help
They'll tell me it's all in my head

Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget the way we used to sway?
Why did I ever even try
To dance with a memory?

I've tried to build a wall inside
My mind
It's built of stone and steel and brick
I built it tall and wide to keep you outside
But it only keeps you in

Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget the way we used to sway?
Why did I ever even try
To dance with a memory?

Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget?
Why is it so hard to forget the way we used to sway?
Why did I ever even try?
Ever even try
To dance with a memory?
