Memento from Phao by Phao

Seems I need this now, more than ever
Can’t remember the last time I felt so alive
I need that feeling back, I tear this photograph apart
Because I know I’m so much healthier alone
But it’s not getting any easier
I’m staring at the phone
It’s better when no one knows
And the scar from the lie still shows

So take this picture that I’ve drawn
Another face for you to try on
Of the time I fell asleep in your arms
Wake up with hands around my neck
When my happy ending
Depends upon pretending
Burn it down
I want to let this go
But this is my Memento

And anytime you want to
Let me know that you’re not happy
I’d rather know than have you hate me
Cause you’re not the only one
Whose voice is raw from screaming
All the noise that we don’t need
Salt in the wound may stop the bleeding
It’s better when no one knows
And the scar from the lie still shows

So take this picture that I’ve drawn
Another face for you to try on
Of the time I fell asleep in your arms
Wake up with hands around my neck
When my happy ending
Depends upon pretending
Burn it down
I want to let this go
But this is my Memento

And all we know is that things aren’t getting better
So we both hide out as we whether out this storm
Until we both find hope we will make each other suffer
So we go our separate way and hope our paths will cross
