I Forget

All my doctors and friends
Have concocted these theories
Weary of seeing me day after day
On the edge of my bed
Leery of living
My laughter on hold
My sadness on stay
And it's been this way for quite a while
Yes, I forget how to smile
I'd like to rely on my old game and yet
Even that I forget
It´s not there, I regret
Couldn't get up today
I pretended a fever
Any excuse but the truth will do
I don´t lie very well
No I´m not a deceiver
But I can´t bring myself to admit that I´m blue
And it's been this way
For quite a while
Yes, I forget how to smile
I'd like to rely on my old game and yet
Even that I forget
It´s not there, I regret
The clock and the calendar
Both an assault
Time goes so slow
It must be my fault
I act like I´m okay
When I´m not okay at all
I forget what to do
I forget what it all means
Don't remember if love ever really felt good
I forget to be here
And not in-between
I'd put on a good show
If only I could
And it's been this way for quite a while
Yes, I forget how to smile
I'd like to rely on my old game and yet
Even that I forget
It's not there, I regret
I forget
