Erase Me lyrics - Ben Folds Five

What was our home?

Paper, not stone

A lean-to, at most

And when you pulled

Your half away

Gravity won

Like it always does

Did I weigh a ton?

Would it be easier

To just delete

Our pages and the plans we made?

Erase me, so you don't have to face me

Put me in the ground and mow the daisies

Ah, the memory

See how it goes when you—

Erase me

Erase me

So what will you do

With no me for you?

I know what we said

What if I left

A thing or two?

We know that you don't seem

To think about what you need

'Til you reach to find that you've—

Erased me—what the fuck is this? You're crazy

Turned around, in two weeks'e time, replaced me

Ah, the memory

Everybody knows how it goes

You just erase me, do me like a bro and taze me

Fireworks, poof! It's gone, amazing

New bio, you've gone solo

Drawing mustaches on our wedding photo

Erase me

Erase me

Erase me

(Erase me) This is not shouting, baby

(Erase me) Go and call the cops now, baby

Ah, the memory

Everybody knows 'bout the brand-new ho

Erase me, and you'll never have to face me

Erase me, Option-Command-Escape me

And if you feel nothing, guess what I wanna be?

Nothing
