The Memory of You

I want to erase you from my memory
Forever from my mind
'Cause no matter how hard I try not to
I think about you all the time

Maybe some bleach to scour my mind
And wipe away all the pain
I wonder what will stay confined
In the remnants of my brain?

I'd welcome the brain damage
I won't mind the memory loss
To get rid of all the baggage
I'd pay almost any cost

But you're like a stain
Burned into my brain
That no cleaning can ever get out
'Cause the things in my head
Are the words that you said,
The lies that came out of your mouth

It's not nearly enough to wish that you
Had never come into my life
I wish that you simply never existed
Maybe then you'd be out of my mind.
