July 24th Didn't Last In New Jersey

went to Mexico and I
only used to remember you.
but all I can remember now
are the little kids without shoes.

and days and weeks,
and months and years,
went by and now
I don't remember you.

went to the carnival with you.
that was on September ninth.
now eleven months have passed us by.
now I wish that you would die.

but time goes by
my emotions dry
and those days you cried
don't mean a thing to me.

tonight as I write this song
I say to you "goodbye and so long."
three days from now I'll leave.
then you'll see how much you miss me.

I'll take that trip
and you'll stay at home.
when you're all alone
just don't cry for me.
