I Will Never Forget Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

i sat in the swamp with a little pink piggy 

who loved roller-skating and playing pretend 

the boy that she loved was a real snackmaster 

the world was a beach ball and we were all friends 

then he died alone and the last time i saw her 

it looked like the reaper had rapped on her door 

she said "do you remember singing ice ice baby with me 

laying down on the reef bathroom floor?" 

how could i ever forget? i could never forget 

i will never forget 

how could i ever forget? i could never forget 

i will never forget 

jimmy and johnny just stare at each other 

while their mother hangs in the holiday inn 

your funeral on your son's seventh birthday 

is the worst thing you could ever give him 

i bet he'd like flowers, balloons, and a card 

"unconditionally yours, all my love, from your mom" 

much more than wearing that little black suit 

and saying goodbye forever to you 

i haven't forgotten the times that i teased you 

and everyone else pointed at you and laughed 

permanent damage was not my intention 

but i could not foresee the aftermath of my actions 

i was so small 

wanted to grow in the eyes of my enemies 

for awhile i felt tall 

but they knocked me back down now i'm here on my knees 

looking at my face in a bed of pine needles 

and wondering if anyone stills knows my name 

i turned full circle and another half circle 

and tried to go back the same way that i came 

"look alive dawson, your heels are dragging 

i never knew anyone could move so slow 

you may be a hotshot now, but you are still a cow 

a big fat F, why don't you just go home?" 

i guess that that means i did not make the team 

i'll just lay on the ground and look up at the trees 

the old bedford oak the tall evergreens 

this is not a joke this is not a dream 

not sleeping just resting in pieces that i wish were peaches 

i saw your dad later that day 

maybe he shot himself, could've been someone else 

asked me to tell you what he had to say 

"you don't have to end up with people who self destruct 

go find a lover who will never leave 

fear of abandonment, self hate, and discontent 

will go away when you let yourself grieve 

and forget about me, forget about me, forget about me" 

how could i ever forget? i could never forget 

i will never forget 

how could i ever forget? i could never forget 

i will never forget 

how could i ever forget? i could never forget 

i will never forget 

how could i ever forget? i could never forget 

i will never forget
