Forget Your Face

I played a song once in your car
Which you ignored, but it underscored your voice
Now you've left me with no choice
But to always tie those notes to you
When you're gone and it comes on
Tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do?

You laid your head against me
And the thought of washing out the scent of you
Is something I just can't do

One day, 'fore my hair's gone grey
I hope that I can forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You'll just be a blurry shape

Even after all this time
There's something I can't seem to find
I've been searching in all the wrong places

Thought that I wanted another you
Then I started to see it through
It felt like pushing in the knife twice

Let that be a reminder
Next time I'm trying to find someone like you
I'll only think that

One day, 'fore my hair's gone grey
I hope that I can forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You'll just be a blurry shape

Oh, one day, 'fore my hair's gone grey
I hope that I can forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You'll just be a blurry shape

I can't stand the things that are good for me
But I never have a clue till it's too late
From the outside lookin' in, I'm sure it's plain to see
Big red flags that I never appreciate

Some day, when the sting fades away
Maybe I won't have to forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You won't have to be erased
