Lyrics

Ten years down the road
I'll be cleanin' out my closet, getting rid of old clothes
And I reach behind my winter coat
And I stumble upon shoeboxes filled with old ghosts
Why did I hang onto your pictures?
Why did I hang onto that dress?
'Cause it kills me to see you
But it kills me not to
It kills me to remember
And it kills me to forget
So I suppose you'll be in every song I sing
If not written in my words, you'll be hidden in these strings
'Cause how could I ever forget my first love
My first woman, first truth, first child from above?
But why do I hang onto your pictures?
Why have I not just thrown out that dress?
'Cause it kills me to see
But it kills me not to
It kills me to remember
Oh and it kills me to forget
Oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
It kills me to see you
But it kills me not to
It kills me to remember
And it kills me to forget
