Lyrics[]

I want to be forgotten,

and I don't want to be reminded.

You say "please don't make this harder."

No, I won't yet.


I wanna be beside her.

She wanna be admired.

You say "please don't make this harder."

No, I won't yet.


Oh dear, is it really all true?

Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?

Top ten ideas for countdown shows...

Whose culture is this and does anybody know?

I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"

But no one comes in and yes, you're alone...


You don't miss me, I know.


Oh Tennessee, what did you write?

I come together in the middle of the night.

Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause

I've got you to let me down.


I want to be forgotten,

and I don't want to be reminded.

You say "please don't make this harder."

No, I won't yet.


I want to be beside her.

She wanna be admired.

You say "please don't make this harder."

No, I won't yet...
