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, I guess, 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 face 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
