In your book of records, will I be the one?
The one you could count on for the things that you've done
Will I be the first name that's down on the list?
As the best or the worst man that you've ever kissed
These records we keep are all so unfair
But no one denies that those things are still there
From our past to our present, they will always exist
So please let me by, as I try to resist
Please let me by, as I try to resist
You re-wrote the records because you were mad
Omitting the fact I was all that you had
I rolled with the punches, are there records for that?
It's all for endurance, but it mostly seems flat
These records we keep are all so unfair
But no one denies that those things are still there
From our past to our present, they will always exist
So please let me by, as I try to resist
Please let me by, as I try to resist
I could judge you on your merits or your skills
But that's a sin and where we've been, ignorance kills
Any chance of anything we've ever thought
So I'll forget it if you spin it in a knot
Maybe you could burn all the things you haven't got
I'll find the book here if the rights haven't been bought
These records we keep are all so unfair
But no one denies that those things are still there
From our past to our present, they will always exist
So please let me by, as I try to resist
Oh Please let me by, as I try to resist
Nothing is sacred, there's nothing that's missed
So please let me by as I try to resist
