Sometimes You Just Forget Things

I couldn't recall the name, the place or circumstances

A friendly, smiling face, the hurt shown in the glances

And ne'er a chance to think, the gaps filled in while I've descended

Let me out, I know that I am close

And yet, we seem so far removed

There's something just ahead, is it who I used to be?

Don't leave me

Roaming through a haze, a fog that's never lifting

Straighten out the sheets, I know that something's missing

Try to tell myself, sometimes you just forget things

Oh, though I am still alive, I am not alive

Falling and falling, the edge of recalling

The puzzle of my mind, the smaller deaths before I die

And still, the hands of time, they form the world I see

A world that was not meant for me

Becoming less and less of who I used to be

I am afraid, am I alone?

Will they all leave when I am gone ?

So many doors will stay unturned

And what I've known will be unknown

Just let me rest and hold my hand

Though my faces hides, I am still there

This is not home, it's not my own

I'm on my own

So run away before you see

See the death of me

And the end of us

I will understand

Control I have lost

My ambition, all for naught

Who was I?

Who am I?

Am I to believe you will stay with me?

Keep me company?

I may not know how or why, but I promise to never leave

Patient, I will be

I think I was supposed to say something here

I guess
