lyrics

It's like I'm meaning to say something lasting,
but it is the last thing to come from my lips
with your new shoes and your new dress it's
a comparison to the world's oldest profession

and I hope no one ever remembers your name.
I hope no one ever remembers your name.

And it's too soon to say but I think that you are
the epitome of what's wrong with me
it's fine, really, just a little bit of fear,
mixed in with this room and the lights, and your cool

and I hope no one ever remembers your name.
I hope no one ever remembers your name,

And I swear to God, I can hear your ghost in the room,
never leaving, it's safe to assume that it
will be here forever more.
Okay.
It doesnt matter anymore.

"Unrelenting, upsetting, too sad," she said "You are."
"You're moving too fast away, back pedaling."
But what you don't know might be that you're at the end of my rope
and I'm letting go,
I said I wouldn't though.

And I swear to God, I can hear your ghost in the room,
never leaving, it's safe to assume that it
will be here forever more.
Okay.
I dont matter anymore.

And I swear to God, I can hear your ghost in the room,
never leave me, it's safe to assume that it
will be here forever more.
Okay.
I don't matter anymore.
