Don't Forget Me

Tell my mother I wish that I never gave in to the temptation
Tell my brother, my past was affected by his intimidation
Oh, I don’t want to be mad, but I’m sick of losing all of my patience
On people that I should love
Tell my father I thought he would give a little more to our family
Tell my daughter I wish I were there when she got back in that taxi
Oh, I don’t want to be sad, but I don’t believe I’ve ever been happy
And now that we’ve all lost touch
I’m left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought, now
I have no evidence
That we share the same blood
How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away
How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I’m irrelevant?
All I ask is, don’t forget me
Tell my wife, she was right, I’d be seeking out the scent of her fragrance
As I learn, what it’s like, to be heavy in a body so vacant
Still our minds, will collide, leaving me with nothing but a headache
As I push, to the side, any thought of you I cannot erase
I’m left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought
Now, I have no evidence
That we were once in love
How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away
How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I’m irrelevant?
All I ask is, don’t forget me
Remind me not to fall in love
The aftermath is Is far too much
If all I am, is all you are
Then without me, you’ll fall apart
How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away
How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I’m irrelevant?
All I ask is, don’t forget me
