Remember

One day, when it all comes to pass

I know I will tell you how I feel

Bearing all of your weight, oh how this feeling can’t last

And will you remember me then?

One day, when all is said and done

You’ll be left with fire in your eyes

But this time I will be the one

And how will you remember me then?

What have you really given to me?

When you make me choke so you can breathe

What has really become of this?

When you tell me to pull but instead I twist

So when everyone else has let you down

Remember the words that you threw around

And then when I have fallen short

Remember that this is never what I wanted to be

Someday, when the years have slipped away

You will never admit to what you’ve done

There will be nothing left for us to say

Oh, I know you’ll remember me then

One day, when you’ve forgotten how I felt

You will reach for me and ask for help

And I will be gone, there’s already nothing there

But, as I always do, I will remember you then

What have you really given to me?

When you make me choke so you can breathe

What has really become of this?

When you tell me to pull but instead I twist

So when everyone else has let you down

Remember the words that you threw around

And then when I have fallen short

I tell you:  I will never be this again

But I will remember you then

And when this is over, it can begin again

But this time, this time I will take the lead

Because that is something I can never be again
