lyrics

[Intro]
I have a really bad memory. But some people just seem to stick in my mind, one of them is my cousin Mikkel…

[Verse 1]
I remember when we made our own Jackass show
And we kept making more after the first video
I remember when I by mistake, poured coke on my phone
You laughed so much, that you almost choked

I remember when we built a snowman, and raped it
I remember all the girls, that you started dating
That's a long time ago, so I'm not scared to say
I was jealous of you, in every possible way

Cause you were doing the cool stuff, and I wasn't
I had a couple of friends, you had a dozen
I remember when we smoked a joint with your friend
And this time, I almost choked to death

I remember every Monday, I came to visit
But you didn't want me to, so I thought “what is this shit?”
We were growing apart, but I wasn't ready
Because to me you were more than just, cousin Mikkel

I remember when we stayed up late playing games
Or, you were playing, I was watching, same same
I didn't mind, you were better at the playing part
But I helped you with the puzzles, guess I was playing smart

I remember the time we went to your friends party
And I drank a bit too much, so I started barfing
You were there by my side, I still apologize
That you had to look after me, all damn night

I remember how I used to say, that you were my best friend
You might have forgotten, but I remember what you meant
Guess it had to end we never meet, like bad friends
But I remember how I used to be, back then

[Break]
I mean, we still meet, unlike someone else I used to know…

[Verse 2]
I remember when we first met, you and your pink hair
You were so outgoing, while I’ve always been scared
Of talking to new people, especially in my teen years
So I remember how I thought, that you seemed weird

I remember when I first heard you sing, wow
Even though we’re not friends, that’s still what I think, now
I remember when you took the, pink out
And changed it to brown, turning 180 around

I remember when I found out that you were a brony
Or a pegasister? A fan my little pony
So I wanted to build a friendship hoping it
Would be with someone, I could be open with

And it was I remember the stuff we shared
Told you some weird shit, but you didn’t really care
You were there for me, and it’s true
But I fucked it up, when I feel in love with, you

And that’s the thing, I look back at what we were
But I can’t do it for long, cause that shit hurts
I remember every time you burst into tears
I remember every time I almost did, and how it feels

To be with someone who drives you crazy, no really
Sometimes you were laughing, sometimes you wanted to kill me
But you had a fiancé, and didn’t turn me down hard or quick
I should have kissed, to see what you’d do if I did

But you wouldn’t want me to, you don’t love me
So now when I’m looking at you, all I see is ugly
By the end I weren’t you friend, you just needed company
But I remember when our friendship was built on honesty

[Break]
We totally avoid each other, like the thing with my family…

[Verse 3]
I remember the times when we went to that summer place
And we saw the big waterpark, we were all amazed
It was great we were there, all together
I remember how I thought, it will never get better

But I remember when Chris came back, from Norway
I didn’t know how much I missed him, but it was all great
Cause he was back and we could chat daily
We didn’t, but that’s cause I got problems baby

I remember when our great-grandmother passed away
It was a tragedy, and we were all sad and grey
I remember I wanted to write something in her honour
I wasn’t good enough back then, but now I’m gonna

I loved you Lizzy, we all did
You were a piece of our hearts, and when you left, we lost it
But you didn’t die sad, so we won’t take it too hard
Cause I know you’re happy, wherever you are

You’re not the only one that left, dad’s not with us
He didn’t even come to your funeral, that shit’s fucked
I’m sorry, but I can’t keep quiet anymore
Dad, I don’t understand the fire in your core

I mean, do what you want, you’re your own man
But why the fuck won’t you act like a, grown man
This is your own family, I just think it’s sad
That you don’t even miss your own mom or dad

Or your siblings, or their kids, you don’t see them grow
Do what the fuck you want, but I want you to know
You could come back, nobody cares about your temper
But if you don’t then the whole family will remember forever

[Outro]
There, I said it…
