August Premier - In Loving Memory

It's a shame you're not around for all the
birthdays, graduation ceremonies, holidays and the like
You'll never hear the sound of all the laughing and the whining
and the fighting of the people you loved
Or so you say
You never wanted any of it anyway

But it's OK, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
Just waste away the memories that kept you going
Honesty you kept from knowing

Look there's another frown
It's on the face of a little girl who still can't comprehend
The world she lives in
She hasn't figured out that you're not ever coming back
I bet you didn't even think about that
But it's okay
You never wanted any of it anyway

But it's OK, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
Just waste away the memories that kept you going
Honesty you kept from knowing

And now the summer's almost gone
And we have had time to accept the loss
Still every day we'll think about you
And we miss you so goddamn much

Well now you're underground and you're not missing much
I guess only time will tell the story the best
It's coming back around
I understand what you were feeling and I am truly believing because
All that I had and all of my past experiences
And all my regrets
I never wanted any of it anyway

But it's OK, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
Just waste away the memories that kept you going
Honesty you kept from knowing

But it's OK, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
But it's OK
It's in our dear hearts to forgive you
You know that I forgive you
