lyrics

(Intro)
(I cannot forget)
Three little words that you never heard
Two little pronouns, one little verb
(Anyone I've known)
One little heart getting kicked to the curb
One little girl who wished it wasn’t hers
One little boy stares at stars in the sky
With the little girl’s heart and sparks in his eyes
(Deep inside the sky)
But a spark can’t inflame if that spark don’t ignite
So the little boy’s heart lay in darkness tonight
Boy grows up, he’s a stupid prick
Girl throws up, she just sucked a dick
(Is all that's ever been)
Boy loves girl, she’s the coolest chick
Boy gets dumped, she’s a stupid bitch

I can’t forget you, ever since I met you and let you into my life, I think about you
(I can stand what we are)
Every single minute of every single night, when every single second seems more like a life
Time moves so slow without you, and then you said I’d never learn shit about you
(The way I feel isn't all)
I said come on, give us some time to grow but you said no, that it was time to go
Whoa, hold on, maybe rethink that statement, you could be mistaken, these steps you’re taking
(The violence of the past)
Such a thin line comes between love and hatred.
If these bonds were sacred, how could you break them?
Who the hell are you to be so cold like that?
(Returns with more remorse)
Take what we had, put it on hold like that,
I don’t roll like that, you're oh so wack, your heart must be the color of coal: so black
Cause you and I, girl, we could have been something
You know what could have stopped us girl? Nothing
The new age Bonnie and Clyde, two partners in crime, we could have been the stars of our time
(Regret what you have done)
Maybe one day when the stars realign, we can still shine, we can still shine
(So someone is to blame)
Girl, let me inside, let me inside, open up your mind

(Chorus)
I can't stand what we are
The way I feel isn't all

I feel your absence, so I drown my sorrows in some absinthe
Mix that with a bottle of the aspirin and them some acid,
(Open up your mind)
And then I’m passed it, the point of no return, I hope your seat belts fastened
Cause we crashing, it's time to cash in, imagine the nights we could have had, all the passion
(So I can see inside)
Its old fashioned but I think you and I, well, we could have lasted
We could have been perfect, well not perfect, shit, sometimes you and I were kinda like like a three-ring circus
(Echo a belief)
On the surface, but underneath, deep down, that’s where the real love flourished
Till you cut me off, shut me out, fuck I’m about to blow my top, love then hate, then love again, will it ever stop?
(If you cannot pretend)

(Chorus)
