Forgetting You

a song about loving someone who isn't aware of your feelings.

My clock reads 11:52
I’m thinking, but not by choice, about you
Silence speech gave way to remorse-
And of course
You neglect to see me

See, I am myself with you
It’s usually not something that’s easy to do
Still you walk away
But I’m here and I’d kill to say
You’re missin’ what’s in front of you

Forgetting you seems to be the way out
What can I do besides scream and shout my lungs out?
Remembering you and I’m wanting to pretend ‘remember who?’
This is what you do, if only you knew

It lies fifteen feet beyond my spot
I’m thinking, “do I do it?” “do I not?”
Always leave me up in the air-
You don’t care
Temptation beckons still

Look, you do something to me
I never thought it was a possibility
Skeptics had me mute
The pain that pierces me is acute
There’s a someone but I’m not her

Forgetting you...

I fight myself, I fight myself
I told lies to put packages on my vacant shelf
It calls my name to wet my lips
To diminish your presence and get a grip
I fought myself, I fought myself
And I forfeit
At the question, I spit
