Dave_The_Lion Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I looked at that yellow shirt Looking from button to button I remembered I held it out in front of body As if embracing an old friend By the shoulders Letting him know I respect him You were such a good friend You remember when I met her She was beautiful, right? We seemed to hit it off right away When we were talking I couldn't help but stare into her eyes My heart was racing So fast and strong, It seemed like the only thing holding it back Was you, right there with me You remember, right? The first time I kissed her Under the moonlight It almost seemed as if the moon was a spotlight It was watching over us She held you in her arms She held me in her arms I was embracing her ever so gently She felt warm, didn't she? This yellow shirt You have a lopsided collar She accidentally ripped you She tried to sew you back together This yellow shirt You're slightly faded at the bottom I spilled my drink on you I apologize I was lost in her beauty I wasn't paying attention This yellow shirt Your top button is missing It popped off when she ripped you open You sat on the floor of her bedroom and watched It was my first time I'll remember it forever This yellow shirt You don't look so great anymore This yellow shirt You torment me with memories This * * * * ing yellow shirt You were there You were their that day I saw her walk toward me, she seemed upset We reached out and tried to comfort her She rejected me I sat down with her She wouldn't look at me I asked her what was wrong You remember what she said, don't you? You remember it word for word "I can't do this anymore." That's what she said, right? She walked away I tried to catch up We grabbed her arm She turned and grabbed my wrist Her face never looked so cold Her eyes were bitter They looked the same as before But I saw myself in them My arm fell to my side She stared me down She walked away from us The ring in my pocket felt so heavy I looked down There you were, yellow shirt Reminding me of everything The memories that once felt so good The memories that now feel like torture The memories that you bring back I couldn't get rid of you You brought back so many memories I had to get rid of you You brought back so many memories I'm holding you in front of my body I'll give you a second chance I'll wear you once again I looked accross the street I know you saw what I saw But who was she with? You knew, didn't you? I couldn't handle it I had to get away Every reflection Every window or mirror Brought back memories Memories of us Memories of her I looked to the left You saw it coming, didn't you? You didn't say anything The bright lights speeding towards me On this road I had traveled with you The lights went out It was in this shirt This yellow shirt When I met her It was in this shirt This worn-out shirt I experienced my first with her It was in this shirt This * * * * ing shirt She left me It was in this shirt This yellow shirt That I laid to an eternal rest Link to comment
