lyrics

Lethe’s Water

I had such big plans for us
Now I’m so let down
Things didn’t work out right,
I feel like a clown
Why’d I get my hopes so high?
I fell for you too fast
Should have figured from the start
That it wouldn’t last
I wish I could forget you,
Wish I could move on
Because any chance of a
Romance ‘tween us is gone

I want to drink the waters of the river Lethe
Purge the sadness, ease the pain, and set my soul free
Waters take me back to the time before we met
River Lethe, please help me to forget

Mystic waters cleanse my mind,
Clear my memory of your stain
Can’t eat, or sleep, or anything,
Your presence burns my brain
We could have been great together;
You must have felt it too
Did you find me demanding?
Did you think I would hurt you?
You couldn’t be more wrong
Your happiness was my desire
Lethe escape you banks, let your
Waters quench this fire

River Lethe, please help me to forget
To forget
