Black Diamond Bay – I Won't Forget You 1

I would lace together pretty words
And tie them about your neck
So they sparkle on your face
And pin such dreams to your clothes
So you can wear them everywhere you go, everywhere you go.

I won’t forget you, I need the pain.

I would blend a palette of melodies
To paint upon your skin
So your reflection sings,
And conduct your very breath
To play along in harmony, to play in harmony.

I won’t forget you, I need the pain.

Yet I am drowning in memories that stick to me like oil
And suck me beneath a sea I would swim so easily
I can lace nothing, I can blend nothing.

I won’t forget you, I need the pain.

I couldn't lie
I couldn't lie
I looked in your eyes
And couldn't lie
And then you left
You couldn't live like this
Well here's the thing baby
At least we exist.
