Forgive & Remember - Twitching Tongues

Before my eyes, another year goes by

Life’s greatest cost, another loved one lost

Our time together has come to an end

To greater heights your spirit will ascend

If I’d not known your name, I’d never feel this pain

The price of loving comes with one day feeling numb

If only there was more that I could do

To spare the world the pain of living without you

I will always remember who you were

I will carry your memory forever

Now I must move on

And accept that your being is gone

It’s harder every day since your spirit has faded away

If only you could take another’s place

In memories I’ll beg and plead to see your face

Disillusioned, in ruins, without any conclusion

Frustration, isolation, you are now my motivation

I will always regret what I have done

I will carry this guilt forever

How bout I load these 12 gauge shells

Punch my ticket straight down to hell

Might go swimmin' with a VCR

Bleed out listenin' to CCR

I say it should have been me

(We say it should have been him)

Might take it easy and jump from the roof

Swallow some bleach like it’s 101 proof

Slit my wrists and wait for the call

Rope around my neck 'cause I’m a child of Fall

I say it should have been me

(We say it should have been him)

Past the point of contemplation

Time for my self mutilation

(it should have been)

Full of grandpa’s medication

Time for permanent vacation

(It should have been)

Disillusioned, in ruins, without any conclusion

Frustration, isolation, you are no my motivation

I will always remember who you were

I will live, and I’ll forgive, but I will never forget
