about

I started this one on the other side of the country, and finished it in the pandemic. It helped me work through the liminal spaces of leaving behind a relationship.

lyrics

I wonder how you're doing,
But I don't wonder very much
I wish you all the best,
But with a light and gentle touch
And I don't want you to come back,
But I want you to be well
Oh my heaven, oh my hell

You've begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a used-to-be
Begun to be away from me
Begun to reel me out to sea
Begun to be a memory for me

Sometimes I get swept up in
All the things we used to do
I know they weren't all good,
But I liked doing them with you
And I hope that you are better
'Cause I for one am not the same
Oh my glory, oh my shame

You've begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a used-to-be
Begun to be away from me
Begun to reel me out to sea
Begun to be a memory for me

And I can say I'm grateful
To recall our golden days
And I can say I'm grateful, too,
That we have parted ways

I think about you just a bit
More often than I'd like
The curtain call is done,
But there's still props and set to strike
And I'm finding ways to leave you,
Though I left you long ago
Oh my wonder, oh my woe

You've begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a used-to-be
Begun to be away from me
Begun to reel me out to sea
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory
Begun to be a memory for me
