Doctor, can you please remove this memory
I can't eat or sleep, it's giving me such pain
When I close my eyes the past comes flooding to me
I hear those same words echoing in my brain
For a long time I've been sick but haven't known it
With a tumor steady growing in my mind
It was a love I hardly missed when I first lost it
But it represents the happiness I can't find
Well, yes, I've taken medication, alcohol and pills I couldn't name
Don't tell me that I just need a vacation
Cause no matter where I go this pain remains
So, doctor, can you please remove this memory
Take the scalpel in your hand and cut it out
Cut through confusion, depression and insanity
Remove the face from long ago that haunts me now
