Don't Forget About Me

Don't forget about me
When the time comes to leave
You know you don't owe me
Anything at all
One day you'll see
The measure of my loyalty
When the good times aren't too shameful
To recall

Nothing left to hold you to the
Promises of those who
Flaunted you like a
Well worn accessory
And it would be too naive
To think the good times would never cease
Without you, they're just an empty luxury

So when it's time to go your way
Or there's nothing left to say
Cause your body language
Already told it all
Well don't forget about me
When the time comes to leave
Just bow and take your final
Curtain call

I drizzled admiration at your
Every invitation
My dedication's been
Fatally sincere
So if destiny pulls us on
Toward opposite horizons
Please let me be
Your souvenir

Now how tragic would it be
If one day you mysteriously
Evaporated from my memory
But you can rest assured
You'll be remembered as so much more
Then an everlasting acquaintance
In custody

All the days I let you win
Although my patience was paper thin
And our nights were drenched in
Sweat and alcohol
Don't forget about me
When the time comes to leave
You know you don't owe me
Anything at all
