This book is full of pages

And the ones that I should burn

Are all the same ones that I turn to when I'm lost.

I'm not sure if I miss him

Or the place I love to miss him

Of the girl you know damn well you could have loved.

All my friends would die

If they knew I still see you in a good light

From time to time.

But I won't let the truth get in the way of a good story

I'll leave out all the details that don't matter to your glory

Everybody hates you and I know that I should, too

It's just nice to misremember you.

If hindsight's 20/20

I'd prefer it to be blurry

So it's easier to stomach than the truth.

'cause if I'm gonna hate you

I would have to hate the version of myself

That once believed in you.

All my friends would die

If they knew I still see you in a good light

From time to time.

But I won't let the truth get in the way of a good story

I'll leave out all the details

That don't matter to your glory

'cause everybody hates you and I know that I should, too

It's just nice to misremember you

It's just nice to misremember you.

Misremember the nights that I stayed up wishing you'd call

When you were out playing, but you let me take the fall

I played your game

I screamed your name

Till I got so close to not missing you at all

You knew you had me right in your hands

I prayed to god that shadow of a man

Would turn out to be the one for me

But I was way too young to really understand.

I'd rather misremember you

I'd rather misremember you.
