Ben Folds Five — Erase Me lyrics

Lyrics

What was our home
Paper not stone
A lean-to at most
And when you pulled your half away
Gravity won
Like it always does
Did I weigh a ton?
Would it be easier to just delete
Our pages and the plans we made?
Erase me So you don’t have to face me Put me in the ground and mow the daisies
Ah, the memory, see how it goes
When you
Erase me Erase me So what will you do With no me for you?
I know what we said
But what if I left a thing or two
We know that you don’t seem
To think about what you need
'til you reach to find that you’ve
Erased me What the fuck is this?
You’re crazy, turned around
In two weeks time replaced me Ah, the memory everybody knows
How it goes you just
Erase me Did me like a bro and tazed me Fireworks — poof — it’s gone, amazing
New bio, you’ve gone solo
Drawing mustaches on our wedding photo
Erase me Erase me Erase me…
Erase me This is us shouting, baby
Erase me Do we call the cops now, baby?
Ah, the memory everybody knows
About the brand new home
Erase me And you’ll never have to face me Erase me Option-Command-Escape me And if you feel nothing
Guess what I’ll wanna be
