Too many memories.

The problem with close relationships is that when they go south (and in my experience, they always go south at some point or another), EVERYTHING seems to remind you of the person you're trying to forget. I mean, you do your best to avoid the obvious memories.. the big glaring ones.. like the park or certain songs. It's the ones that sneak attack you that are the worst. You're minding your own business.. maybe even managed to go a few hours without thinking about the person.. and then, out of nowhere- WHAM! SNEAK ATTACK! The next thing you know, you're a crying heap on the kitchen floor because said person used to take the foil off the top of your wine bottle because you always left it on after it was open. Or you're grocery shopping with your little brother and he starts explaining how to pick out eggs.. a skill he learned from a person you really DON'T want to be thinking about. Thank God that time heals all wounds. I don't know how many weeks of this I can take!

"I dance around this empty house
Tear us down, throw you out
Screaming down the halls
Spinning all around and now we fall
Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle, now a rash

This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
I'm gonna burn it down
9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, fun

Echoes knocking on locked doors
All the laughter from before
I'd rather live out on the street
Than in this haunted memory
I've called the movers, called the maids
We'll try to excorcise this place
Drag my mattress to the yard
Crumble, tumble house of cards

I'm crawling through the doggy door
My keys don't fit my life no more
I'll change the drapes, break the plates
I'll find a new place, burn this f*cker down

This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm going to burn it down, down, down
I'm gonna burn it down
9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, FUN!"

PINK - Funhouse
