Sometimes I wish, we had a short term memory Just enough to recognize each other's face It would be the same old stories but you're Hanging onto every single word I have to say To the world I'm not that clever But you would stay with me forever I'd keep your friends from reminding Reminding you to Save yourself, leave me behind You would if you had half a mind I'd tell you every day's your birthday And every gift I bring could be the same Or how I stood beside you at a shotgun wedding And the child we both would love but never came Hearing stories that were never You would stay with me forever But I'd forget to make money You'd forget to Save yourself, leave me behind You would if you had half a mind How vulnerable you are Rob this house and leave me blind You would if you had half a mind How effortless to stay together For these ties you may have severed I'll just stay right here forever And so you write on your forehead Or better yet you engrave So when you look in the mirror Well, you don't forget to Save yourself, leave me behind You would if you had half a mind How vulnerable you are Rob this house and leave me blind You would if you had half a mind How effortless to stay together If we had no memory whatsoever We would stay right here forever You just stay forever You just stay forever End on
