Requiem for O.M.M
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.
When I met you I was just a kid
hadn't built up my defenses
so I gave my heart completely
vaseline over the lenses
memories don't go away
I remember every day
I never ever stop wondering
Wondering if you still think of us
I don't need a photograph
cause you've never left my mind
No you've never left my mind
I remember feeling like a ship
whose captain was too drunk to steer
and you watched as I was sinking
waving sadly from the pier
It's such a burden to carry 'round
the vestiges of dead dreams
and I don't want to make a wake out of my life
I just had to let you go
