Selective Memory
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.
I'm wakin' up past noon
I'm never really sure what day it is
I'm wishin' I was you
I'm wishin' I was anybody else
I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective memories
Well, I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm tired of all the problems that I've caused
I'm tired of all the things
I should've done instead of stayin' home
I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective memories
Well, I'll bet you'll forget about me
Well, if there was a problem I can't solve I'd just forget about it
I've always had everything I wanted and never doubted
That I'd someday have my cake and eat it too
But lately something tells me I've been fooled
Well, I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective memories
Well, I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective memories
Well, I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'll bet you'll forget about me
