lyrics

Hey man, I'm sorry, but what's your name again?
I've got no short term memory
Head's filled up with shit I wish I could forget
I feel like last words are the only break I'll ever get
From this obsession
Needing a hundred second chances
And playing this back over and over again

I keep being reminded that I should forgive and forget
But I've got the best memory and the guiltiest conscience of anyone I have ever met
The sight of you is the smell of gasoline
Swear like a sailor that you won't leave again
When I light the match
And tell you who I am vs who I've been

And when things are going too well
I obsess over when they weren't
There's familiarity in the thought of drowning
I've been suffocating in my skin
Since I started growing
I thought the weight tied to my neck
Was just growing up for a while
Then I found out it wasn't normal
And the fucking devil on my shoulder cracked a smile

He cracked a smile
With him at the helm my sinking ship caught fire
And I came up with all these reasons
I was an awful person
But you said I've been awful to myself

I keep being reminded that I should forgive and forget
But I've got the best memory and the guiltiest conscience of anyone I have ever met
The sight of you is the smell of gasoline
Swear like a sailor that you won't leave again
When I light the match
And tell you who I am vs who I've been

Who I've been

i keep being reminded that i should forgive and forget
but I've got the best memory and the guiltiest conscience of anyone i have ever met
