Reminded #1

I wasn’t breaking your heart, just closing the bar
and I wasn’t trying to be cool, just bending some rules
I know it sounds hard to believe
but I guess I needed to be reminded of how bad it might have been
yes, I needed to be reminded of working on a bitter end
there’s nothing to fear, whatever I do you know I always remember you
but I needed to be reminded of me so I ordered up a new round of jokes and blew a curtain of smoke
swung from the fixtures of fame and put a face to the name
then I opened up an old wound to bleed
but I was happy to be reminded of how bad it might have been
yes, I needed to be reminded of working on a bitter end
there’s nothing to fear, whatever I do you know I always remember you
but I needed to be reminded of me
