about

people will remember how you make them feel

lyrics

We say goodbye with fingers crossed behind our backs
I’ve wanted to grow numb so I could tell you that your love means nothing to me
But I’m alive, I know because I pinched myself
There’s no forgiveness without asking first for help
And your love now means nothing to me

People will remember how you made them feel
But first they come to know you by the type of shoes you’re wearing
And if you don’t care to show to them the soul you carry
They’ll remember how they feel about the shoes you’re wearing

With pleasantries exchanged, I stumble onward
Into talk of higher yesterdays and other nonsense
This party’s full of people trying to be my friend
I do not know how to break the news the world is ending
But “I’m fine; thanks for asking, how are you?”

People will remember how you made them feel
But first they come to know you by the type of mask you’re wearing
And if you don’t bother showing them the soul you carry
They’ll remember how they feel about the mask you’re wearing

Dear we could all begin to act the way we think we’re supposed to
Masquerade through aisles of cereals and inexpirable items
And among these things you’ll linger til you’ve gained some peace of mind
Later, clutching what you came to buy, the door slides shut behind you
Whispering “people don’t remember how you made them feel
We are only ever noticed by the type of mask we’re wearing
So do not bother showing them the soul you carry
Just remember how you feel about the shoes you’re wearing”
