"Legend In My Mind" lyrics

Legend In My Mind

You're a memory
Of love
I've been unable
To leave behind
Cause for the hurt
That don't ease up
The way I hoped it would
Given time

It slowly
Been so long
I'm not
Surprised to find
That you're
A legend in my mind

You're a picture
Of yesterday
And a shadow
That hides the sun
Lonely words
That still echo
When the echo
Should be gone

You're the living
Part of me
The only part
Death leaves behind
And you're
A legend in my mind

If I had a way to close every door
That you ever opened wide
And I walked through
With you

I could put the world on my back
And carry it away
And never turn back
To you

I wished I could close my eyes
And see you gone
I'm not blind
I'm not blind
And you're
A legend in my mind

I wished I could close my eyes
And see you gone
I'm not blind
No, I'm not blind
And you're
A legend in my mind
