The Life Savers
by Jim Nasium

I got a roll of live savers
from a friend just the other day
and every time I open it,
another bad memory goes away

As I am sucking on,
the flavor that I found
I feel the candy getting smaller,
then when it goes down

It seems to take another
bad memory away of you
all the little lies you told
and the evil things you do

But trouble is with life savers
only the bad memories seem to go away
and I am stuck living forever
with the good memories every day

Now I have an empty wrapper
some paper and some foil
I'll never fall in love again
there is no one who's loyal

Why did I eat these lifesavers
what did I think they'd do
I can't believe that they are gone
and now it seems that so are you...
