Lyrics
Davy wakes up crying
something happened late last night
inside feels like dying
how could somebody do that to him?
Sees his best friend's daddy
smile like nothing's different
looks him straight in his eyes
the eyes answer say "i don't know why, I..."
Convenient Amnesia, don't wanna know
Convenient Amnesia, can't tell a soul
Oh no, don't let it show
Convenient Amnesia
Davy wakes up crying
he did something late that night
all these years of lying
how could somebody do that to him?
Sees his son's friend Danny
sad like something's different
looks him straight in his eyes
and without voice says "I don't know why I ..."
Convenient Amnesia, don't wanna know
Convenient Amnesia, can't tell a soul
Oh no, don't let it show
Convenient Amnesia
