Memories

One, two

It's been a couple months
That's just about enough time
For me to stop cryin' when I look at all the pictures
Now I kinda smile, I haven't felt that in a while
It's late, I hear the door-
Bell ringin' and it's pourin'
I open up that door, see your brown eyes at the entrance
And you just wanna talk and
I can't turn away from my door
But please don't ruin this for me
Please don't make it harder than it already is
I'm tryin' to get over this

I wish that you would stay in my memories
But you show up today just to ruin things
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
When I say
I wish that you would stay in my memories
In my memories, stay in my memories

Now I can't say "Goodbye" if you stay here the whole night
You see it's hard to find an end to somethin' that you keep beginnin'
Over and over again
I promise that the endin' always stays the same
So there's no good reason to make believe in that we could ever exist again
I can't be your friend, can't be your lover
Can't be the reason we hold on each other for fallin' in love
It's somebody other than me

I wish that you would stay in my memories
But you show up today just to ruin things
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
When I say
I wish that you would stay in my memories
In my memories, stay in my memories

Yes, you came
I guess I let you stay
For as long as it takes
To grab your boots and your coat
And that one good cologne
That you bought when we were fighting
'Cause you steal all my clothes, everything that I own
And it makes me feel like dying
Always better in just surviving

I wish that you would stay in my memories
But you show up today just to ruin things
I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
But you're not lettin' me do that 'cause tonight
You're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the fetal position
Too busy playin' the victim to be listenin' to me
When I say
I wish that you would stay in my memories
In my memories, stay in my memories
