I'd Rather Be Forgotten
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I talk too much I won't mean what I say but I'll tell you this before you go away
If you destroy my world just leave the pieces where you drop 'em
And if you don't mind I'd rather be forgotten
I'd rather be forgotten like a style gone out of style
Then do know you think of me once in a while
So go your way be free your opportunity is knockin'
But as for me I'd rather be forgotten
(Forgotten forgotten)
Remember not to remember me at all what's a mem'ry if that's bitterly recall
I'm headin' for a heartbreak and there won't be any stoppin'
Do this for me I'd rather be forgotten
I'd rather be forgotten...
