Lyrics

At a pay phone in the middle of town
Sheltered from the rain
A nervous boy calls a sweet young girl
And she thanks him for the flowers that came

He said, "I'll give you memories you can carry your whole life."
She said, "You don't have to be so kind to me."

I still remember how my heart would ache
When you were holding me
Those summer nights we stayed up 'til four
Lying naked in the glow of your TV

I said, "I'll give you memories you can carry your whole life."
You said, "You don't have to be so kind to me."
You said, "You don't have to be so kind to me."

Now all I hear is the empty sound of us not talking
It echoes like the sound of your feet walking out the door
I'm holding my head in my hands as I wait for dawn to break
I hear you sigh it sounds just like the last breath love will take

You're giving me some memories I'll carry my whole life
But you don't have to be so kind to me
I said You're giving me some memories I'll carry my whole life
But you don't have to be so kind to me
Please don't be so kind to me
Please don't be so kind to me
