When you told me that you didn't know

If you wanted to be with me or not anymore

The only thing I could manage to think about

Was the happy memories that we had shared

 

Memories that helped me sleep at night

Memories that helped me stop crying when I was sad

Memories that helped me through tough times

Memories that reminded me of why I loved you

Of why I wanted you to stay

Of why I wanted you to never not know

 

So suddenly as the memories became happy

In my young

Love struck eyes

They became toxic

Evil

Images in my head that were planted

By the hatred in your soul

To make me regret every decision

I had ever made

 

These beautiful

Beautiful memories

Turned into

 

Memories that kept me up at night

Memories that kept me crying when I wanted to be happy

Memories that kept me going through tough times

Memories that reminded me of why I loved you

Of why I wanted you to stay

Of why I wanted you to not never know

 

How quickly you changed

How quickly our love turned into something

So fragile

So broken

So beyond compare

That now even the good memories

Have been tainted

Diseased

By a virus called "I just don't know"

That invaded your heart.

 

"I just don't know"

Another kiss that makes me cry

"I just don't know"

Another tear that otherwise would have been happy

"I just don't know"

How could you not know?

"I just don't know"

When did our love turn bad for you?

"I just don't know"
Did your memories have an expiration date?

"I just don't know"

 

The memories become tragedy

They become white static

Relaxing in the worst possible kind of way

Perfect in a way that it scares you when you're alone

Comforting when the only thing you hear is silence

 

It's just all white static now

You're white static

The memories are white static

Used so often in horror movies

But also to fall asleep
