The words you choose are bad
but instead I keep the good ones
just for the sake of forgetting them

the steps you take always seem to
take you wherever I might be
and without the words I keep
I don't think we'll ever get there

I forget the words you spoke
but you held on to the ones I never heard
is this all we are or have we been deceived

without
without these words I promise
a single emotion floats away
and is lost forever and ever

the air you breathe is something I need as well
but you never seem to share it
I think you're out of control
but I don't remember
was it with you that I was safe

without
without these emotions I keep forgetting
I don't think we'll ever be together
and we'll just keep on dreaming

imprinted in my mind is this lie
I keep on feeding and caring for
imprinted in my mind is this memory
I try to keep forgetting
imprinted in my mind is this picture of you
I always try tearing it apart

without
without these lies you keep sowing
I don't think I'll ever feel that alive again
and I'll just keep on disappearing from your mind

this lie I'm living
is a dream without end
this memory of you
I'm finally ready to let it go
I will finally forget what you said

the words you choose are good
but instead I keep the bad ones
just for the sake of remembering the loss
