I wrote many songs about you
Way back in the day
I try not to think about you
At least not in that way
 
You were the centre of my teenage years
The fuel that drove me insane
 
I used to dream about you
Almost every night I'd say
I no longer dream about you
Or not quite so much anyway
 
You drag me by the hand through scenes
In which I hallucinate
Until you fade with the background
And slip into the past
 
After all these years
You're still haunting my dreams
Time was supposed to heal
And you were supposed to leave
I know that I don't love you
But like an old tattoo
That I once thought was cool
You'll only ever fade
And never truly go away
 
The progress that the years made
To strip you from my mind
Is minimal it seems
You just won't be left behind
 
In vivid colours you still walk
Around up here with no
Decrease in opacity
I can't believe that 
 
After all these years 
You're still haunting my dreams
Time was supposed to heal
And you were supposed to leave
I know that I don't love you
But like an old tattoo
That I once thought was cool
You'll only ever fade
And never truly go away
 
You live in so many distorted melodies
In the sounds of yesterday
Your tones are weaved
The ripples you set in motion
Are still visible to this day
And I'm sick of the welcome
That you have overstayed 
 
So go away
 
After all these years 
You're still haunting my dreams
Time was supposed to heal
And you were supposed to leave
I know that I don't love you
But like an old tattoo
That I once thought was cool
You'll only ever fade
And never truly go away
 
So go away
 
I wrote many songs about you
Way back in the day
I try not to think about you
At least not in that way
