Don't toss me away
Like any empty bottle
I'm vintage
With a stamp from
The ancient royals
Keep me please
I don't want to join
The other piles of
Tainted-colored glasses
I want to stay here
I've filled you up
And I've kept your promises
Now, keep mine
Keep me as a collector's item
Let me be there for you
I want to be found
Not by any other stranger
Only by a friend like you
I want to be treasured
And not broken
Not shattered to pieces
On the curb of a sidewalk
To be recycled
Into the consumerism
Again and again
Let me have a home
In your heart
So you can physically greet me
And we'll acknowledge
Each other
Like old friends
I've kept you alive
So don't throw me out
Like yesterday's jam
Like any other old thing
Guess believing in the past
Gets harder when you approach
The future
So, I'll take my fate
And get lost

Guess believing in the past
Gets harder when you approach
The future
So, I'll take my fate
