I feel like I'm in a movie
looking for my earring
to complete my going-out outfit 
when I stumble upon a picture of us 
and seconds later I'm lying on my bed 
going through my shrine to us 
a 200 page picture album completely filled 
with only you and me

And the perfect song is playing in the background
a song about lost love and feeling alone
a song that sings the truth as I reminisce

Each picture I look at brings me back
and I see a flashback in my mind
Each picture is a moment replayed in my head
a movie-worthy montage 

And suddenly I'm filled with sorrow 
while remembering the romance I never mourned 
Lately that's been catching up to me 
and I find myself thinking of you more and more
the one thing I tried so hard not to do 
so I could just get over it and move on 

The song ends, so I play it again on repeat 
and I'm taken back into the memories 

We were so happy once upon a time
pictures filled with smiling faces, kisses, hugs
and I realize I miss you 
But what can I do about that 
you have a new album with new pictures
filled with smiling faces, kisses, hugs
the only thing different is the girl in them 
while my album is still filled with us 

I guess I didn't realize 
how much I missed us 
how sad I am that we're over 
It's been so long I thought I was fine 

It's like that, I guess 
you're fine until you stumble upon 
a cherished item from love's past 
and then that past love consumes you again 
it becomes all you can think about 

I couldn't get it off my brain 
after finding that picture 
I was hooked again 
replaying the song
and replaying the memories

I never did find my earring that night...
