There are things that used to make me smile One of them was you for just a little while You left me for dead so far away I replaced you with fear and shame You'll be happy on the day I Die There are things that used to make me laugh But now they're deeply buried in the past I left them there so far away Replaced my humor with my pain I'll be happy on the day it Dies Remember when I said I love you, well Forget it, I take it back I was just a stupid kid back then I take back every word that I said There are things that used to make you cry One of them was me for just a little while Why is it that you had to say Goodbye in your special way? You slashed the tires on my Car Remember when I said I love you, well Forget it, I take it back I was just a stupid kid back then I take back every word that I said Remember when I said I love you, well Forget it, I take it back I was just a stupid kid back then I take back every word that I said
