I'm glad we had the talk we had
I'm glad we spent the time we did
I wish I could get it back
I know you've gone on to someone else
You don't miss me
Paint it black
I still recall the way you kissed me
The way you shut your eyes
And the way you moved your tongue
It's like a dream I can't forget
It haunts me still
Ever since I was young
Hey Esme, with love and squalor
I'm glad I got to see you smile
I'm glad I saw you cry
It's good to see both sides
You saw me at my best
You saw me at my worst
All across my great divides
We had our time
And now it's gone
And there ain't no going back
Still when I see you in a stranger's eyes
It comes as a surprise
Paint it black
You take a really sleepy man
And he stands at least a chance
Of getting himself together
You might think he'd disappear
Become one with the atmosphere
Blown along by the weather
But I'm still standing here today
A little bit hobbled
But strong enough to shout
Don't forget me, Don't forget me
Peace out
