  • Re-rewind Friday night, never forget it
    How you let me go
    No more lies, I'll be fine, know where I'm headed
    Probably should've known

    And now you're gonna say, pretty, please forgive me, yeah
    Fool me once, told you twice you're gonna regret it
    Now you're all alone, yeah

    Turns out that no one can replace me
    I'm permanent, you can't erase me
    I'll help you remember me
    One more kiss is all it takes, sing it out
    I'll leave you with the memory
    And the aftertaste

    Close your eyes, you can't hide, try to forget me
    But I'm everywhere
    I'm the smell on your sheets, you weren't ready
    When you left me there

    And now you're gonna say, pretty, please forgive me, yeah, yeah
    Bet it hurts, it gets worse, you know nobody
    Said it would be fair, oh, yeah

    Turns out that no one can replace me
    I'm permanent, you can't erase me
    I'll help you remember me
    One more kiss is all it takes
    I'll leave you with the memory
    And the aftertaste

    And now there's something in your way
    'Cause you threw it all to waste
    And you wonder if you could take back what you did that day
    And it hurts, 'cause

    Truth is that no one can replace me
    I'm permanent, you can't erase me
    I'll help you remember me, sing it out
    One more kiss is all it takes
    I'll leave you with the memory
    And the aftertaste
