 I sat in the swamp with a little pink piggy

 who loved roller-skating and playing pretend

 The boy that she loved was a real snackmaster

 the world was a beach ball and we were all friends

 Then he died alone and the last time I saw her

 it looked like the reaper had rapped on her door

 She said "do you remember singing ice ice baby with me

 laying down on the reef bathroom floor?"

How could I ever forget? I could never forget

 I will never forget

How could I ever forget? I could never forget

 I will never forget

Jimmy and Johnny just stare at each other

 while their mother hangs in the holiday inn

Your funeral on your son's seventh birthday

is the worst thing you could ever give him

 I bet he'd like flowers, balloons, and a card

 "unconditionally yours, all my love, from your mom"

much more than wearing that little black suit

 and saying goodbye forever to you

(Listen to the song to play this part. The A might be Asus2)

 I haven't forgotten the times that I teased you

 and everyone else pointed at you and laughed

Permanent damage was not my intention

 but I could not foresee the aftermath

 of my actions

 I was so small

 Wanted to grow in the eyes of my enemies

 For awhile I felt tall

 but they knocked me back down now I'm here on my knees

Looking at my face in a bed of pine needles

 and wondering if anyone still knows my name

I turned full circle and another half circle

 and tried to go back the same way that I came

"Look alive Dawson, your heels are dragging

 I never knew anyone could move so slow

 You may be a hotshot now, but you are still a cow

A big fat F, why don't you just go home?"

 I guess that that means I did not make the team

 I'll just lay on the ground and look up at the trees

 The old Bedford oak the tall Evergreens

 This is not a joke this is not a dream

 Not sleeping just resting in pieces that I wish were peaches

 I saw your dad later that day

Maybe he shot himself, could've been someone else

Asked me to tell you what he had to say

 "You don't have to end up with people who self destruct

Go find a lover who will never leave

Fear of abandonment, self hate, and discontent

will go away when you let yourself grieve

 and forget about me, forget about me, forget about me"

How could I ever forget? I could never forget

 I will never forget

How could i ever forget? I could never forget

 I will never forget

How could I ever forget? I could never forget

 I will never forget

How could I ever forget? I could never forget

 I will never forget
