Lyrics

She'd been missing all last week
I thought she'd left me
Her so beautiful, unique

I thought she'd gone so far away
Like everyone who's ever cared
So full of life, living for me
Like everyone who's ever cared

Can you remember how things used to be? I can
Vivid, picturesque, the way things used to be

A video, boxed and delivered
Addressed to me, arrived that morning
Alone I watched it, a silent montage

Her throat slit, she mouthed my name
The only one I've never shared
As the three destroyed her face
The only one I've never shared

Can you remember how things used to be? I can
Vivid, picturesque, the way things used to be

Play and rewind the final moments
Life to death, then back again
Life's not like the celluloid
The memory, it's not the same

Can you remember how things used to be? I can
Vivid, picturesque, the way things used to be

I cannot find the one who has done this
You know who I am but I can't find you
You could be near me, but never revealed
A friend, an enemy, the suspects surround me
The way that I think now, concrete, in clarity
If I find who you are, I won't even ask why
You'll finally see what you did to me
As I take your lives apart and burn out your eyes

Can you remember how things used to be? I can
Can you remember how things used to be? I can
Can you remember how things used to be? I can
Can you remember how things used to be? I can
