"To Forgive" lyrics

"To Forgive"

Ten times removed
I forget about where it all began
Bastard son of a bastard son of
A wild-eyed child of the sun

And right as rain, I'm not the same
But I feel the same, I feel nothing

Holding back the fool again
Holding back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holding back the fool again

I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to talk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won't come back

Holding back the fool again
Holding back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holding back the fool again

I forget to forget me
I forget to forget, you see
Nothing is important to me

I knew my loss
Before I even learned to speak
And all along, I knew it was wrong
But I played along, with my birthday song

Holding back the fool again
Holding back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
