People don't remember the nice things;
they remember the fighting, screaming, kicking-
the things that hurt them.

You lit me up when I met you.
I remember the singing, laughing, dancing-
the things that showed you cared.

When things got bad we were there to hold each other, to lighten the loads on our backs.
But we only ended up-
switching loads.

Then your mistake ended it all and-
And I was the ***** again.

Down the road you'll only remember the-
the fighting
screaming
kicking-
the things that hurt you.

You won't remember when I stayed up until 4,
just to make sure you were alive every night.
You won't remember how I looked at you after ***,
you'll only see angry tears after the yelling.

It's just human nature.
