Spotless Mind (yep, movie inspired!)

Spotless Mind
© Meesa Caudill


At this point in all our lives
we've all been deeply burned-
worlds have been flipped upside down,
we've suffered tremendous hurt.
We've all been through hell,
sometimes twice, and back again-
tried to swear off love,
enjoyed our fun living in sin.
Some of us are free to bare our scars-
most wear them like badges-
some people try to hide them-
cover them with emotional patches.

If only we could forget old wounds,
somehow wipe the slate clean.
New love wouldn't suffer sins of the old,
in fights, we wouldn't be so mean.
We live our lives & try to heal the pain,
hoping to leave our memories behind.
Wanting so badly to forget the pain...
Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind.

We've built up concrete walls to our hearts,
hoping someone strong could tear them down.
With each new love we hope and pray
but they never stick around.
We push them away or we choose to run,
heart is too fragile for another crack.
If we lose ourselves to love again,
we may never find our way back.
So we carry on trying to heal the pain,
heal the damage that's been done to our soul.
We want so badly to forget the past,
unsuccessful at letting it go.

If only we could forget old wounds,
somehow wipe the slate clean.
New love wouldn't suffer sins of the old,
in fights, we wouldn't be so mean.
We live our lives & try to heal the pain,
hoping to leave our memories behind.
Wanting so badly to forget the pain...
Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind.
