"AN EFFORT TO FORGET" lyrics
(feat. Emily Haines)
Well, I decided to forsake
Every mistake I've ever made
Nothing I need anymore
I'm not bound to what came before
Every smile I've had to fake
All the steps I've had to take
Every move I've had to make
Just to get through
Every thought I have escaped
And I won't negotiate
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
No longer need to convalesce
In an effort to forget
Every mistake I've ever made
It's not an image that I'll save
No, oh, oh
No, oh, oh
It's every smile I've had to fake
All the steps I've had to take
Just to get through
Smile and wave as I drive by
Forever do or die
That's what I do
I smile and wave as I drive by
Put that car in drive
Just to get through
That's what I do
That's what I do
Well, I decided to forsake
Every mistake I've ever made
Nothing I need anymore
I'm not bound to what came before
Every smile I've had to fake
All the steps I've had to take
Every move I've had to make
Just to get through
Every thought I have escaped
And I won't negotiate
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
Every thought I have escaped
I just won't negotiate
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
I just won't negotiate
I just wanted to escape
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
Every smile I've had to fake
Every step I've had to take
Every move I've had to make
Just to get through
Every mistake I've ever made
Nothing I need anymore
I'm not bound to what came before
Every smile I've had to fake
All the steps I've had to take
Every move I've had to make
Just to get through
Every thought I have escaped
And I won't negotiate
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
No longer need to convalesce
In an effort to forget
Every mistake I've ever made
It's not an image that I'll save
No, oh, oh
No, oh, oh
It's every smile I've had to fake
All the steps I've had to take
Just to get through
Smile and wave as I drive by
Forever do or die
That's what I do
I smile and wave as I drive by
Put that car in drive
Just to get through
That's what I do
That's what I do
Well, I decided to forsake
Every mistake I've ever made
Nothing I need anymore
I'm not bound to what came before
Every smile I've had to fake
All the steps I've had to take
Every move I've had to make
Just to get through
Every thought I have escaped
And I won't negotiate
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
Every thought I have escaped
I just won't negotiate
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
I just won't negotiate
I just wanted to escape
Anything that takes its place
That's what I do
Every smile I've had to fake
Every step I've had to take
Every move I've had to make
Just to get through
