"Misremember You" lyrics

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
