[Verse 1]
What was our home?
Paper, not stone
A lean-to, at most
And when you pulled
Your half away
Gravity won
Like it always does
Did I weigh a ton?
Would it be easier

Our pages and the plans we made?
[Chorus]

Ah, the memory
See how it goes when you—

[Chorus]
Erased me—what the fuck is this? You're crazy
Turned around, in two weeks'e time, replaced me
Ah, the memory
Everybody knows how it goes
You just erase me, do me like a bro and tase me
Fireworks, poof! It's gone, amazing

Drawing mustaches on our wedding photo
[Refrain]
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me

[Chorus]
(Erase me) This is not shouting, baby
(Erase me) Go and call the cops now, baby
Ah, the memory
Everybody knows 'bout the brand-new ho
Erase me, and you'll never have to face me
Erase me, Option-Command-Escape me
And if you feel nothing, guess what I wanna be?
Nothing
