I’d love to take your memories
And throw them out the window
The ones that pain you
The ones that shame you
And come back in dreams so you can’t forget
These dreams that throw you into night sweats.

I’d love to take them all away
And replace them with me
I’d love to hold you close
And create night sweats of my own.

I wish I could rob you of that fear
And drown those memories in your tears
But these memories won’t go away
Like parasites that rob your mind of it’s play.

In the morning when you wake up from these dreams
Your eyes seem hollow and you can’t remember me
Slowly it all returns, but each of those memories is like an old burn
I never know when your pain will return.

I’d love to take this pain from you
Even if doing so brought it upon me
I’d love to take away these memories
Just to bring your mind some peace.
