Lyrics
You kept all the things I threw a way.
A leaf I picked, a birth day card I made.
Hold ing on to mem o ries of you and me, we did n’t last a year.
Oh,
we’re just a box of sou ven irs.
’Cause may be
I pulled the pan ic cord, and may be
you were hap py, I was bored.
May be I want ed you to change;
may be I’m the one to blame,
may be I’m the one to blame.
