You Don’t Know You’re a Memory by The Suitable Heirs Lyrics

The cure for sober is drinkin’
I’m sure that it was you who said
I was laid out on the bar floor thinkin’
I’d look better tonight if I was dead

But you don’t know much when you’re sinkin’
It’s all gone to feelin’ instead
And both of my ears are still ringin’
From that ring finger knock on my head

My ex and your ex
They’re like two car wrecks
They teamed on up and they totaled me
And I was so wasted that I could not see
What you had in mind when you said, meant to be, it’s meant to be

But you don’t know you’re a memory, ’til you’re already filed away
Stored in that drawer called the time before
And tossed out one of these days
Yeah, you don’t know you’re a memory, and you sure don’t know what for
You don’t know you’re a memory, and I won’t remember you no more
The answer to pain is drinkin’
It’s all right there in the book
I was stood up in a line dance blinkin’
How’d I end up in those pictures you took

But I don’t know much when I’m sinkin’
So what I think I’ll do, honey, I’ll keep on drinkin’

Your ex and my ex
They’ll stop by and pay their respects
They come down hard and they give it to me
And I was so wasted that I could not see
What you had in mind when you said, meant to be, it’s meant to be
