How can I remember to forget you?
Cos I can’t sell my memories and make some new
Just because it was all a rouse
That didn’t mean that I didn’t get no bruise

Remember when we used to
Ride among the stars on trains
And all the times we would
Walk the long way home in summer rain
And I would like to live again

I never thought I would
Lie alone beneath the northern lights
I always knew I could
But I thought you’d be here by my side

I tried to look,
But your shine is like no other
You read me like a book
Yet you love me like a mother
And I would like to live again

I was there with you
With the same old tired eyes
And drunk as I was
I ran away into the night

Once the sky rained light
And I almost felt alive
Forgot the dark of night
And the dreams to which I was resigned
And I would like to live again
And I need the stars to burst again

I’m old, I’m bruised, and I have come so far alone
I can’t yet forget you gone
