when i am old and tired
and sickness breeds in me
i hope i forget you then
forget what you've done to me
when i'm dead
and maggots feed from me
i will feel more alive than this
if you were here right now
in this room where i am reminded of you
i would beg you to tell me why
i would beg you to let me forget you were ever inside here
inside of me
i am the only thing you ever owned
(worth nothing at all)
but the time has come to let me go
when i am sick and tired
and confined to my memory
please let me throw you out of it
let me forget you were ever inside me
inside my head
so i can rest in peace
