Reminded #1

I wasn't breaking your heart, just closing the bar
And I wasn't trying to be cool, just bending some rules
I know it sounds hard to believe
But I guess I needed to be

Reminded of how bad it might have been
Yes, I needed to be reminded of working on a bitter end
There's nothing to fear, whatever I do
You know I always remember you
But I needed to be reminded of me

So I ordered up a new round of jokes and blew a curtain of smoke
Swung from the fixtures of fame and put a face to the name
Then I opened up an old wound to bleed
But I was happy to be

Reminded of how bad it might have been
Yes, I needed to be reminded of working on a bitter end
There's nothing to fear, whatever I do
You know I always remember you
But I needed to be reminded of me
