I wasn't breaking your heart, just closing the bar   and I wasn't trying to be cool, just bending some rules   I know it sounds hard to believe   but I guess I needed to be      reminded of how bad it might have been   yes, I needed to be reminded of working on a bitter end   there's nothing to fear, whatever I do   you know I always remember you   but I needed to be reminded of me      so I ordered up a new round of jokes and blew a curtain of smoke   swung from the fixtures of fame and put a face to the name   then I opened up an old wound to bleed   but I was happy to be      reminded of how bad it might have been   yes, I needed to be reminded of working on a bitter end   there's nothing to fear, whatever I do   you know I always remember you   but I needed to be reminded of me
