Don’t try to make yourself
remember, darling
Don’t look for me,
I’m just a story you’ve been told
So let’s pretend a little longer
Cause when we’re gone,
Everything goes on
Well, you were staring at the window
And I said, “I wanna take you to the sea,
And when I’m better, we’ll do everything”
(I gotta stop making promises I can't keep)
But if I was gone tomorrow?
Won’t the waves crash on,
Is it selfish that I’m happy,
As we pass the setting sun?
Someday I’ll be overcast,
But you won’t have to cry -
Cause we’ll do the grieving
While I’m by your side
I said:
Don’t try to make
yourself remember, darling
Don’t look for me,
I’m just a story you’ve been told
So let’s pretend a little longer
Cause when we’re gone,
Everything goes on
And I’m so scared of getting used to this;
All the vines that keep you
tethered in your room
Well, someday both of us are leaving here
But for now, I’ll just bring the sea to you
Will you meet me in the daylight,
Like we did before?
Then I felt you on my shoulder,
And you weren’t suffering anymore
Said, “I’m sorry that you worried”
But don’t apologize -
I told you to forget me,
But you stayed by side,
When I said
“Don’t try to make
yourself remember, darling
Don’t look for me,
I’m just a story you’ve been told”
So let’s pretend a little longer
And when we’re gone,
Everything goes on
