When You Can'T Forget
she wanted to remember
he wanted to forget
the good times they had
the day that they met
because now it's over
dead and gone
and it's a shame
that it didnt last long
seventeen years
all thrown away
just because
one september day
he says he'd do anything
just to get her back
and he's so distraught
he can't face the facts
and when he can't handle it
there's a bottle sitting on the shelf
everyone asks why
why do this to yourself
he doesn't get mad
he looks them straight in the eye
and says simply
because she didn't die
you see to him she's still alive
the sound of her laugh
memories of her smile
all come crashing back
along with the sight of her
sitting in the tub
laying lifeless
covered in her blood
