My Clementine

from Sweet Nothings by Bomethius

/

lyrics

Darling, won’t you be my Clementine?
I don’t remember you now
When we met or how
But I loved you once the way I can’t
Love me now
And that’s why I left you and this town

Won’t you be my Clementine?
I thought that you were mine
But it all ran amuck
And I can’t get you unstuck...
Won’t you be my clementine?

I was so ashamed
We thought me you could fix
You were my Charon
On this river styx
But across this river is a deadened world
And I’d seen enough to abandon ship

Now we’re trailing off
In our own directions
Sometimes I think it could have worked
But that’s just insurrection
In the face of what hurts
It’s only memories
We have yet to burn

So Darling, won’t you be my Clementine?
I hope you managed to be fine
I hope we get past all the lost time
Won’t you be my Clementine?
Won’t you be my Clementine?
