If I Wanted To Forget


(tom shapiro/chris waters)
I don't have to go
to those places that we used to go to
i could stay away for days on end
if i wanted to
and i don't have to keep
your picture by the bed to help me sleep
i could find another dream to dream
if i wanted to
I don't have to still be in love with you
with your memory running
through my head
i could get over you
anytime i wanted to
if i wanted to forget
i just don't want to yet
I don't have to live
with this heartache that you left me with
i could simply get you off my mind
if i wanted to
but then i'd leave behind
all the moents that were
yours and mine
and i don't think that's something
i could do
if i wanted to
I don't have to still be in love with you
with your memory running
through my head
i could get over you
anytime i wanted to
if i wanted to forget
i just don't want to yet
