When You Can'T Forget

she wanted to remember 
he wanted to forget
the good times they had 
the day that they met

because now it's over
dead and gone 
and it's a shame
that it didnt last long

seventeen years 
all thrown away
just because
one september day

he says he'd do anything 
just to get her back
and he's so distraught 
he can't face the facts

and when he can't handle it 
there's a bottle sitting on the shelf 
everyone asks why
why do this to yourself

he doesn't get mad
he looks them straight in the eye
and says simply 
because she didn't die

you see to him she's still alive
the sound of her laugh
memories of her smile
all come crashing back

along with the sight of her 
sitting in the tub
laying lifeless
covered in her blood
