I want to scream at you to let me go
I'm not worth being held on to
But even as the words drop from my lips
My hand can't seem to drop yours from my grasp

I want to tell you to run
And never spare another glance my way
But even as I urge you to turn away from me
I can't seem to tear my eyes from your face

I want to warn you that I'm no good
And that I'll end up ruining everything
But even as I ask you to cleanse yourself of me
I can't bare the thought of washing the smell of you from my sheets

I want, no, -need- you to forget about me
And never send a word my way again
I know you are better off without me in your life
And at least I'll have my memories of you to keep me warm
