it took me 6 years
to forget all the drunken beers
to forget the shattered mirrors
to forget all the shedded tears
6 years and all the pain disappears
it took me 5 february's
to forget that I was only temporary
to forget that a doctor said it was hereditary
to forget you aren’t even in a cemetery
5 february’s and my pain is unnecessary
it took me 208 weeks
to forget all the shrieks
to forget how bad Jameson reeks
to forget that busted pipe that leaks
208 weeks and those memories still make me freak
it took me 1,095 days
to forget the smokey haze
to forget the way the drunk girl lays
to forget your “i’m sorry” cliches
1,095 days but I still remember your manipulative ways
it took me 1,051,200 minutes
to forget that you don’t have limits
to forget that you’re only out because there wasn’t a witness
to forget that I never gave you my forgiveness
1,051,200 minutes isn’t enough time to count all your tickets
it took me 31,536,000 seconds
to forget how you believed urban legends
to forget you taught me life lessons
to forget that i never got birthday presents
31,536,000 seconds and I still need therapy sessions
