Lyrics
I went up to see my ma, she doesn?t remember me
She talks a lot about the dog, but she doesn?t remember me
You try to hold on to everything, but you end up alone and the tv?s your memory.
Life?s fair and
All?s good.
I think that maybe we should
Raise a couple of kids, have a family
Watch ?em grow up and then watch ?em leave.
Try to hold on to everything but you end up alone and the tv?s your memory
Forget ?em in a couple of years.
I went up to see my mom, she doesn?t remember me
She talked a lot about the dog, but she doesn?t remember me
No matter how important you think you were
You wake up one day to find that you were just a visitor
