Misremember You

This book is full of pages and the ones that I should burn Are all the same ones that I turn to when I'm lost I'm not sure if I miss him or the place where love took me Some of the girl you know damn well you could've loved All my friends would die if they knew I Still see you in a good light from time to time But I won't let the truth get in the way of a good story I leave out all the details that don't add up to your glory Everybody hates you and I know that I should too It's just nice to misremember you So it's easier to stomach than the truth 'Cause if I'm gonna hate you, I would have to hate the version of myself That once believed in you All my friends would die if they knew I Still see you in a good light from time to time But I won't let the truth get in the way of a good story I leave out all the details that don't add up to your glory 'Cause everybody hates you and I know that I should too It's just nice to misremember you It's just nice to misremember you Misremember the nights I stayed up wishing you'd call When you were to blame, but you let me take the fall I played your game, I screamed your name 'Til I got so close to not missing you at all You knew you had me right in your hands I prayed to God that shadow of a man Would turn out to be the one for me But I was way too young to really understand Ah, oh (Ah) I'd rather misremember you I'd rather misremember you
