I'll write these words in the form of  memories,
It seems like the best thing to do,
So you can move on instead of me,
Because it looks like I'm the fool

I'll sing these words like a melody,
Like rhythm and blues,
So you can play them every day,
I don't mind being the muse

I'll tear these words down like concrete blocks,
To make room for more,
Memories that grow like forget-me-nots,
Outside of your door.

Tell her that you love her when you go,
Put it in the papers so that everybody knows,
Pretty she will feel when she's on your arm,
Calm her nerves when she's alone,
And keep her safe from harm,


Chorus
Don't you think she's such a keeper?
You should keep her,
Angelie you know he cares so open the door,
Don't you see she's scared to believe you?
Oh you need to,
Angelie he wants you back so don't cry any more

Verse Two
Angelie don't shut him out again,
Listen to his reasoning, he wants to be your friend,
Those photographs you left to burn in flames,
Is past the point of no return, it'll never be the same,

Chorus
Don't you think she's such a keeper?
You should keep her,
Angelie you know he cares so open the door,
Don't you see she's scared to believe you?
Oh you need to,
Angelie he wants you back so don't cry any more

Bridge
I wish you could stay strong,
I wish that you were wrong,
I wish that she could see,
That she meant everything to me,
Angelie

Chorus
Don't you think she's such a keeper?
You should keep her,
Angelie you know he cares so open the door,
Don't you see she's scared to believe you?
Oh you need to,
Angelie he wants you back so don't cry any more

And after she moved on,
He knew that she was gone,
He wanted to propose,
A ring that's made of rose gold,
Angelie you never gave the chance to say goodbye,
Another hopeless romance left to die

Time passes by,
The metallic fusion of
cogs and wheels
grinding against one another
to keep it going like a boat
Down a river,
the incessant clicking of hands
skipping over each minute,
each second,
each precious moment of life
that we take for granted
And drives us to insanity
in the dead of night.

Thud thud,
like the beat of a battle drum,
Hallowed cries of victory
Within the capillaries
of your body,
A faint pulsation of adrenaline,
Fresh from the free fall of another
Spiralling of self control,
Beneath layers of fair, smooth skin
lies the undulating tide of blood
and oxygen,
Cascading down narrow slivers
of your veins.
each shuddered breath
is another catalyst of
Life,
Another slam on the accelerator
that surges you further down
the fast lane,
Those faint pulses of yours
Never cease to amaze me.

The cold side of the bed seems so far away,
Wrapped in the sheets are the sounds of breathing,
Pieces of you and I still smoulder in the ashtray,
Tobacco kisses and shots of *** in the evening.
Exorcisms couldn't even lift the haunting presence
Of a heavy heart which carries the weight of worlds.
