Memories come floodin' back through a veil of tears But I've been almost happy for just the past two years The word's out that she's come back and the thought makes me tremble It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember Seconds to remember all the things that used to be Seconds to remember how much she meant to me Love has burst a flame from a dying ember It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember As I recall the day she left with somebody new I vowed that I'd forget her any way I could The minute I heard she was back I felt the same old hunger It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember Seconds to remember all the things that used to be Seconds to remember how much she meant to me Love has burst a flame from a dying ember It took two years to forget her and just seconds to remember
