Go ahead and look through my things   I left ‘em there for you   All I ask is that you    leave the posters on the wall   And after all this time I realize   It was never that bad at all         You might think that I’m smiling    But this is how I bare my teeth   And don’t confuse this view of Hollywood   With a view of the Earth   I think I’ll close my eyes   Let the curtain fall on this night         Sometimes you fail   And some things you never learn   But these days I try   And now I think I understand why   You tore my pages from your book   And cast them in the fire   But they won’t burn   They won’t burn         Go ahead and look through my things   I’m sure you’ve seen ‘em all before   Now I’m gone I wonder   Do they mean a little more   To you I leave these final words:   “Look at the wall and realize   It was never that bad at all”         Sometimes you fail   And some things you never learn   But these days I try   And now I think I understand why   You tore my pages from your book   And cast them in the fire   But they won’t burn   They won’t burn
