You're Just Tan Lines
You're the books, untouched on the shelf
You're the post-its that never, ever fell
You're the lipstick stains on my mirror
You're why I see so much clearer
You're the tan lines of what was once there
You're the highlights of my grown out hair
You're the shades I once wore as a kid
A reminder of what I once did
[Chorus]
And it's the things
That you made me do
It's the ways
That you hold on to
Making me remember
Remind me
You're the lonely VHS on the shelf
You're the truth I always try to tell
You're the glasses that I outgrew in the past
You're the flowers in the field so vast
You're the raindrops at my windowpane
You're the sandwich that I've always wanted plain
You're the things my parents always hid
A reminder of what I once did
[Chorus]
And it's the things
That you made me do
It's the ways
That you hold on to
Making me remember
Remind me
[Bridge]
Oh, remind me
I'm forgetting, losing
Dropping all the bits
Forgetting, losing
Losing
[Chorus]
And it's the things
That you made me do
It's the ways
That you hold on to
Making me remember
Remind me
Remind me

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel
