Jane Ellen Bryant Still Can't Forget You
Cleaned my room, broke my bed
Rearranged it all, and put it back again
But still can't forget you
Climbed to the roof, cried for an hour
Came back to turf, came back on ground
But still can't forget you
Picked up the phone, called my girlfriends
Put on a dress, and went out with them
But still can't forget you
Grabbed the wine, then went for gin
Drank it all, made it my old friend
But still can't forget you
I'm not sure that I loved you, not even sure that I wanted to
Oh, you see, leaving ain't right, 'cause I can't get my mind to pull through
It won't forget you
I'd give up coffee, and this guitar
And maybe my beat-up car
To help me forget you
And on Sunday, I'll go to church
Pray for mercy, pray for no more hurt
And to forget you
I'm not sure that I loved you, but sometimes I really wanted to
Oh, but see, leaving feels wrong 'cause my world won't spin on when you're gone
It won't forget you, no
This old house, beneath these walls
You loved me gently, you let me fall
So I can't forget you
On lonely nights, I feel your ghost, I turn to find you
And then I know I have to forget you
I'm not sure that I loved you, but I know I don't want to, no
Oh, you see leaving must be right 'cause the rest of my life just won't do
'Til I forget you
I have to forget you
