Museum
Alana Henderson Lyrics

You got a new girl and she's got you sweet
You have a new girlfriend and she appears to make you very happy

I've got some things make your picture complete 'cause
I possess certain things that can enhance your new girlfriend's understanding of you

We shared a history, I'd gladly impart, so that she'd meet your hero
We have a history together, and I am willing to share it so that your new girlfriend can get to know you better

She'd know him
Your new girlfriend would get to know the kind of person you are

But she gets the learning of lessons I taught
Your new girlfriend has the opportunity to learn from the lessons I taught you

And she gets the walking through gates that I wrought
She has the chance to experience the same feelings and emotions that I did when I was with you

And I've got the key to the museum of thought
I possess the key to the place where our shared thoughts and memories are kept

That no one but us ever entered
This museum is a place that only we have access to

She's got hearts in her eyes and they're making her blind
Your new girlfriend seems to be infatuated with you, which might cloud her judgment

But I've got the tricks to read your mind
I know you very well and can anticipate your actions and thoughts

I know I could teach her and that might be kind
I could teach her about you, which might be the nice thing to do

But I'll back off, she can find her own way
I am going to let her figure things out on her own

And it's not to say it will work out the same
This is not to suggest that her relationship with you will be identical to the one we had

And it's not to say you can't make a new name
You have the possibility to make new memories and have a different kind of relationship with your new girlfriend

So, I will stay quiet, she'll feel her own pain
I will remain silent and let her experience her own ups and downs

But I'll sing her my songs if you do it again
I'll remind her about our past and the museum of thought if you repeat our past mistakes

And she might get the learning of lessons I taught
She has the potential to learn from the lessons I taught you previously

And she might get the walking through gates that I wrought
She may have the same experiences and emotions that we had in the past

So, I'll keep the key to the museum of thought
I'll continue to hold the key to our shared memories and thoughts

So, baby, talk and bear your soul
So, go ahead and talk and open up about your innermost feelings

And your body, and the whole
Along with your physical self and everything you are

Reason you go out there every day
The reason you face the world each day

Then slip in to slipping out of touch
Then slowly lose touch with each other

And give in to not giving much
Start not putting much effort into the relationship

And move on to someone new
And eventually move on to another person

And forget she ever walked within you
And forget that she was ever a part of your life

And I will just quietly curate this museum of thought
And I will preserve our shared memories and thoughts in silence

That no one but us ever entered
This is a place that only the two of us have access to

I will just quietly curate this museum of thought
I will keep this place safe and untouched, a true testimony of our past

That no one but us ever entered
Forever sealed between the two of us
