I wish I could delete you, Erase the memories in my brain, You promised me eternal sunshine, But left me standing in the rain, All that I have left of us, Plays on loops inside my mind There’s no remote to switch it off, An internal prison that I’m confined Prechorus; I hope in time I can forget, The life we both once knew, But for now I lie awake, Exchanging sleep for you. Chorus: I wish I could erase her, Put our past right through a shredder, Get hypnotized and go under, To get over and forget her, I hope I catch a virus, That wipes my data clean, So I can start a brand new journey, Without knowing where I’ve been I’ll teach myself some magic, So all these thoughts can vanish, Like the way you left me standing here, Like an outcast that you banished Maybe in 40 years, My memory will decline, Though I know that when I’m older, You’ll still be in my mind Prechorus; I hope in time I can forget, The life we made together But deep inside, and though I’ve tried, I’ll remember it forever Chorus: I wish I could erase her, Put our past right through a shredder, Get hypnotized and go under, To get over and forget her, I hope I catch a virus, That wipes my data clean, So I can start a brand new journey, Without knowing where I’ve been I guess the question remains, As it always has before Is it better to have loved, Than to have never loved at all
