Lyrics:
I know that I ended it, but
Why won't you chase after me?
You know me better than I do
… So why didn't you stop me?
Why didn't you stop me
And paint it over?
… I look for a picture of you
To keep in my pocket
But I can't seem to find one
… Where you look how I remember?
Look how I remember
Look how I remember paint it over

[iago]

I know that I ended it, but
Why won't you chase after me?
You know me better than I do
So why didn't you stop me?

Why didn't you stop me
And paint it over?

I look for a picture of you
To keep in my pocket
But I can't seem to find one
Where you look how I remember
Look how I remember
Look how I remember
Paint it over

this song reminds me of how this spring I sat in the gym and cried because I felt disgusting because of the problems in the family and school. my lover just came up to me and asked: do you want to die? so why not do it.
then he said that he would be sad, but I still can't understand why he didn't want to stop me
