  • One, two

    It's been a couple months
    That's just about enough time
    For me to stop crying when I look at all the pictures
    Now I kinda smile, I haven't felt that in a while
    It's late, I hear the door
    Bell ringing and it's pouring
    I open up that door, see your brown eyes at the entrance
    You just wanna talk and
    I can't turn away a wet dog

    But please don't ruin this for me
    Please don't make it harder than it already is
    I'm trying to get over this

    I wish that you would stay in my memories
    But you show up today, just to ruin things
    I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
    But you're not letting me do that, 'cause tonight
    You're all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
    Too busy playing the victim to be listening to me when I say
    "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
    In my memories, stay in my memories

    Now I can't say goodbye if you stay here the whole night
    You see, it's hard to find an end to something that you keep beginning
    Over and over again
    I promise that the ending always stays the same
    So there's no good reason in make believing that we could ever exist again

    I can't be your friend, can't be your lover
    Can't be the reason we hold back each other from falling in love
    With somebody other than me

    I wish that you would stay in my memories
    But you show up today, just to ruin things
    I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
    But you're not letting me do that, 'cause tonight
    You're all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
    Too busy playing the victim to be listening to me when I say
    "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
    In my memories, stay in my memories

    Since you came
    I guess I'll let you stay
    For as long as it takes
    To grab your books and your coat
    And that one good cologne
    That you bought when we were fighting
    'Cause it's still on my clothes, everything that I own
    And it makes me feel like dying
    I was barely just surviving

    I wish that you would stay in my memories
    But you show up today, just to ruin things
    I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized
    But you're not letting me do that, 'cause tonight
    You're all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
    Too busy playing the victim to be listening to me when I say
    "I wish that you would stay in my memories"
    In my memories, stay in my memories Writer/s: Conan Gray, Daniel Nigro
