lyrics

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ME BY

You can run for your life. Make a break for the door.
Crawl across the floor.
You can stand against the wall. Painted in the corner.
Crying for your mother.

Oh, it won’t matter.
Oh, it won’t matter.

All these things come true. Some of your nightmares too.
Now what you going to do?

Something to remember me by,
like a letter or a goodbye kiss.
I’m feeling like I never knew that it can sometimes come to this.
Sometimes I forget that you’re always going to be there.
And I’m running from my shadow, oh.

You can duck, hide, or scramble into the street.
Fall over your own feet.
Whine, beg, scream somebody please.
Live your life on your knees.

All these things come true. Some of your nightmares too.
Now what you going to do?

Something to remember me by,
like a letter or a goodbye kiss.
I’m feeling like I never knew that it can sometimes come to this.
Sometimes I forget that you’re always going to be there.
And I’m running from my shadow, oh.

Something to remember me by...
Something to remember me by...
Something to remember me by...
Something to remember me by...
