Absent Minded

Forgotten song

You toy with my guilt
because it gives you pleasure
you smile at my filth
but you can't measure
how long I've waited for you

You brace yourself for the day
that i come to my senses
there is no way
for me to remember
what was my message

I'm like a forgotten song
I remembered long ago
to sing today
a painful lesson I trampled on
to remember again
I'm just a forgotten song
I remembered long ago
to sing today
a painful lesson i trampled on
to remember once again

Show me the way to love you
because I've fallen out of it
Show me how to forgive you
because I've fallen out of it
You hold your breath for a chance
that i might succumb
and remember who I am
forget what I've done
never mind where I've been
and in the moment
you hold yourself in

I'm like a forgotten song
i remembered long ago
to sing today
a painful lesson i trampled on
to remember again
I'm a forgotten song
remembered long ago
a painful lesson i trampled on
to remember once again
