So, I'm writing' you this letter between rests 'Cause yesterday a bullet found my chest And I don't got the energy to dress myself And I can't walk without help I can't remember why I joined this war And I can't tell you what we're fighting' for I guess

Don't feel at home in this world anymore Did anybody tell you you don't live here anymore? Everything goes away Help me to remember I know I'm forgetting something Something's forgetting me I know I loose my keys tomorrow But these toes don't answer me

Help me remember When nothin' else mattered The way that we used to be "Cause you were lovin' me Just for the night, one last time One more good memory When I look back That's what I wanna see Oh, help me remember

And since the day I left Milwaukee Lyncheburg Bordeaux, France And helping white people dance You had some of the best times You'll never remember with me Alcohol, alcohol Been making the bars With lots of big money I got you in trouble in high school

I'm permanent, you can't erase me One more kiss is all it takes I'll leave you with the memory Turns out that no one can replace me I'll help you remember me And the aftertaste Re-rewind Friday night, never forget it How you let me go No more lies, I'll

And since the day I left Milwaukee Lyncheburg Bordeaux, France And helping white people dance You had some of the best times You'll never remember with me Alcohol, alcohol Been making the bars With lots of big money I got you in trouble in high school

'Cause I remember everything If I could hold back the rain Would you numb the pain If I could help you forget Would you take my regrets Oh, dear mother, I love you I'm sorry, I wasn't good enough Dear father, forgive me 'Cause in your eyes, I just never

And since the day I left Milwaukee Lyncheburg Bordeaux, France And helping white people dance You had some of the best times You'll never remember with me Alcohol, alcohol Been making the bars With lots of big money I got you in trouble in high school

And since the day I left Milwaukee Lyncheburg Bordeaux, France And helping white people dance You had some of the best times You'll never remember with me Alcohol, alcohol Been making the bars With lots of big money I got you in trouble in high school

No, that's the rain in the same old blues Now the sun turned to rain Morning rain keep on falling Like the tears that fall from my eyes And as I sit in my room Staring out at the gloom I can't help, I can't help but remember Have the sun that would shine
