You Can’t Remember

[Verse 1]
We were in a cab on the way to your house
And I could taste the booze when you kissed my mouth
You were slurring your words when those three came out
But it still sounded sweet somehow
You can't remember and I can’t forget

[Verse 2]
Remember the night you were so fucked up
Fell on your face and busted one eye up
You told a story about a boxing glove
And you're the Hemingway hero
A black-eyed James Dean in a one-man show

[Chorus]
You can't remember and I can’t forget
You get the glory and I get the mess
You play the good guy and I'm the fool, I guess
You can't remember and I can't forget

[Verse 3]
That empty bottle of pills 'cause you took 'em all
I was scrolling like hell to find a friend to call
Crying on the front lawn in the flashing lights
I still see you on that stretcher in the back of my mind

[Chorus]
And you can't remember and I can't forget
You get the pity and I’m just a wreck
I live with the memories, you get to push reset
You can’t remember and I can't forget

[Verse 4]
But I remember that 911 call
And picking you up from jail still drunk
Too many nights just watching you breathe
You aren’t just killing yourself, now you're killing me

[Bridge]
Remember tonight when I told the truth
That just like these drugs, I'm bad for you
'Cause if I stay, you’ll never ask for help
But if I go, you might save yourself
So I pray like hell that you'll save yourself

[Chorus]
You can't remember and I can't forget
You can't remember and I can't forget
But this is me loving you well before the first time, I guess
And you can't remember, I can't forget
You can't remember and I can't forget
