forget it

Words mean so little now

Thought we could talk it out

But I dug myself further down that hole

You once I thought I was sweet

Now I’m bitter cold

Where I’m heading 

It’s not heaven

Down, down, down lower 

Guess that it’s over

But I still have to live with it

This pain that never quits

I bit my nails down to the quick

Oh, why can’t I just forget it?

And what was left to say

Stayed tied on the tip of my tongue

And there the words remain

Now imprinted on my mind

Are drawings on the wall 

Of me and him that April night 

Where I’m heading 

It’s not heaven

Down, down, down lower 

Guess that it’s over

But I still have to live with it

This pain that never quits

I bit my nails down to the quick

Oh, why can’t I just forget it?

Every goddamn

Things reminds me of you 

I’m addicted to the memory of 

Watching you storm out the front door

Because I took it too far 

You said, “I don’t know who you are” 

I collapsed on the kitchen floor

And I cried because you were right 

Cried all through the night 

Cried until my tears ran dry

But I still have to live with it

This pain that never quits

I bit my nails down to the quick

Oh, why can’t I just forget it?
