about

lyrics

I remember long ago, in your bed, I was young
I remember feeling so excited about your tongue
In my mouth, on my thighs
Imagine my surprise
That December, all the lies
Fell away just like our clothes on the floor
Now you’re a bad man in my eyes

So I say goodbye to myself
To the things that are through
Take some time, get some help
I can’t start becoming you
All this time thinking I
Could get back to the boy that I knew
That’s why I must say…

I remember long ago, on the trip that we planned
I remember waiting so in the spot you told me to stand
Overhearing mom hadn’t survived
When she very much was alive
A pretender; you connive
That best thing you ever did for me
Was to leave when I was five

So I say goodbye to myself
To the things that are through
Take some time, get some help
I can’t start becoming you
All this time thinking I
Could get back to the boy that I knew
That’s why I must say…

I remember years ago, in the house where I lived
I remember leaning so on the door so it wouldn’t give
To the weight of your arms on the other side
You ignored your own wife as she cried
An offender broke inside
But I have not one regret, even when
I had written I wished you had died

So I say goodbye to myself
To the things that are through
Take some time, get some help
I can’t start becoming you
All this time thinking I
Could get back to the boy that I knew
That’s why I must say goodbye
