I swam around all last night in your words in my bed
But it wasn’t so much your words as it was what they said
And you know how the night goes, you know how it plays with your head
But when the morning brought the day, it didn’t bring the light
Because the memory lingers on
Feels like it’s going on forever
And the pain that comes along
I guess that’s how it’s gonna be
So while the day’s become the nighttime, the night is still the night
And I keep swimming through darkness and bumping into things that bite
And they’re tearing at me, it’s an on-going terminal fight
And I’ve been getting used to the pain, it’s just a part of my life
Because the memory lingers on
It just goes on and on forever
And the pain that comes along
I guess that’s how it’s gonna be
(instrumental interlude)
Leaving a taste in my mouth
Leaving a pain in my mind
Leaving a hole in me
But never leaving
But never leaving
But never leaving…
Because the memory lingers on
It just goes on and on forever
And the pain that comes along
I guess that’s how it’s gonna be
Yes the memory lingers on
It just goes on and on forever
And the pain that comes along
I guess that’s how it’s gonna be
I guess that’s how it’s gonna be… I guess that’s how it’s gonna be…
