There is a grammatical error in the chorus ("Somehow this just don't seem right"). It's there to fit the meter I had. So, yes, I've noticed it, and I won't correct it.
Song is based on a true story, and I hope it will win me some money for college!
Burning All My Memories
I saw your picture in the paper yesterday.
What I read made me want to scream:
You're getting married. So it's true what they all say.
Feels like I won't wake from a terrible dream.
I cut your picture out, and I took it to the shed
Late at night, so no one would know.
I took a lighter, watch the flame glowing red;
I should have done this a long, long time ago.
CHORUS:
I'm burning all my memories,
The smoke curls up into the trees.
I wonder what's become of me.
The flames shoot high into the night,
Somehow this just don't seem right.
They fly away, they're out of sight
So easily.
I'm burning all my memories.
I found a shoe box with all your writings tucked inside.
I browsed through them till I broke down.
I burst through the back door, stormed my way outside.
I watched the flames kill them without a sound.
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm burning all my memories,
The smoke curls up into the trees.
I wonder what's become of me.
The flames shoot high into the night,
Somehow this just don't seem right.
They fly away, they're out of sight
So easily.
I'm burning all my memories.
BRIDGE:
Now there's nothing left of you;
You're just smoke in the air.
There's nothing left to do,
You are finally out of my hair.
