lyrics

I was afraid that you would stay
but you're already far away

I was afraid that you would talk and talk
but you kept your mouth shut

I was afraid that this would be bad
but it's actually just oh so mad

I was afraid that you would stay
and become my worst enemy

but then you left
and you smashed my windows when you left
and you scratched my eyes out when you left
and you fed poison to my cat
and you burned down my flat

well I'll remember you

I was afraid that you would want more
but you kept hiding behind locked doors

I was afraid that you would sink
but you built a shining ship

I was afraid that you would cry
but never have I seen a tear in your eye

I was afraid that you would hang
from the ceiling and it would bend

but then you left
and you smashed my windows when you left
and you scratched my eyes out when you left
and you fed poison to my cat
and you burned down my flat

well I'll remember you

I was afraid that you wouldn't let go
but you had already hit the road

I was afraid that you would come back
so I stayed put and never left

I was afraid of being afraid
and told you that I just don't give a shit

I just hoped that this might end
but it has never begun instead

cause then you left
and you smashed my windows when you left
and you scratched my eyes out when you left
and you fed poison to my cat
and you burned down my flat

well I'll remember you
I promise I'll do
