Don't Remind Me

I was thinking of ways I could get you

Now I’m thinking of ways to forget you

I was finished the minute I let you in my bed

I stayed up late bitching

About being awake

Until you said “For God’s sake”

That’s what you said

I don’t want a merry Christmas

I don’t want these naked pictures

That you took under some fictional name

I don’t want to lie awake thinking

“oh, is that what that was about?”

Because everything falls into place

So late so late but I gotta – wanna figure it out

Now that I got you

I won’t get nothing out of you no more

A couple hours, yeah, it was good

I’d leave by fire escape if I could

But you’re in my home, I took you here myself

And you came on your own

Into my unknown

Did you do it for me alone or your own health?

I wanted you tonight

Pretty soon it must get light

Just when I thought I might sleep some more

I listened to you sleep talking closed

My eyes and started nodding

When someone started knocking on the door

(Where’s the drum?

Where are the drums?)

It’s not going to happen

It’s not going to

It’s not going to work out

I know we had plans to

It’s not going to happen

It’s not going to

It’s not going to work out

Now that I know you

No no no no no no no no

Learned to turn the light off

After I jerked off, I opened my eyes and saw nothing

A line of light underneath the door was all that I needed
