I Must Remember to Forget

[Verse 1:]
If I could select
What I forget
The files I would shred
And I'd neglect
To recollect anything you had said
You could call on me
'Cause honestly
I couldn't implicate you

[Chorus:]
You want to know the truth
I'm no good for you
I'd never lie to save you

[Interlude:]
(But how selective is
This broken, coping mechanism
That made me lose you, was of use
And then allowed me to remember you)

[Verse 2:]
And then I, recommend
We not pretend you
Worry for my safety
Because, in the end
I comprehend your forest worth, of shady
And I wish you well, all so farewell
We'll all be fine without you
'Cause when people can't be used
They're no good to you
They no longer have value

[Interlude:]
(And I'm not very useful
I expect to soon be free of you
When you're out of options
I bet I will hear from you
You use what you can get and then
I find my self on the outside again)
