I Won't Be There
The sweater that you put on me
My only fading memory
Of whatever we had then
(Did you ever feel it too?)
Now it's hanging on the chair
And maybe it's better there
It never looked good on me
(But neither did you)
We were out of place, out of time
But just enough to mess my mind
Up irrevocably
(Don't know what to do)
You pulled me close, pulled me in
Then walked away and let it end
You ignored me
(You bastard, fuck you)
If I could do anything
I'd go back and change just one thing
(Never would've said yes to you)
I'd put myself deep in your mind
Make you think of me all the time
(So you can suffer like I had to)
And you can see what it feels like when
someone fucks with your mind
teasing and leaving and never calls never writes
leaves you alone when you think you've got someone
to hold on to comfort you understand what you think
and what you make of this crazy mistake that
can break you or drive you insane
And all I can say
Is at the end of the day
You'll wake up
Confused and drunk
And I won't be there to whisper your name
