Forgot Myself

[Verse 1] You’d been gone so long you could have been dead Piles of books you bought but never read Paint a still life of your side of the bed Patti Smith poems, a hair tie, and some vitamins There’s only so much you can say in a text Reading between the lines is hazardous A slow reply can really mess with your head I was feelin’ kinda free Now I’m desperate [Chorus] Oh god I forgot myself Oh god I forgot my health I seen it coming but it’s too late now Oh god, oh god, I forgot myself [Verse 2] I was shooting for a different score My head, my heart, the way, the open door Like a fly up against the window The open sky, so close, I’ll never know See my reflection staring back in the glass I’m getting older I know, that things don’t last For all the time I spend worrying Most things they never happen [Chorus] Oh god I forgot myself Oh god I forgot my health I seen it coming but it’s too late now Oh god, oh god, I forgot myself [Verse 3] You’re riding round the world You’re doing this and you’re signing that The facts are that you’re there and I’m here When you’re gone too long I become an idea I’m driving in my car Your song comes on the radio And I remember what I always forget Loneliness
