To Forgive

[Verse 1]

Ten times removed

I forget about where it all began

Bastard son of a bastard son of

A wild-eyed child of the sun

[Pre-Chorus]

And right as rain, I'm not the same

But I feel the same, I feel nothing

[Chorus]

Holdin' back the fool again

Holdin' back, the fool pretends

I forget to forget, nothing is important

Holdin' back the fool again

[Verse 2]

I sensed my loss

Before I even learned to talk

And I remember my birthdays

Empty party afternoons won't come back

[Chorus]

Holding back the fool again

Holdin' back, the fool pretends

I forget to forget, nothing is important

Holdin' back the fool again

[Bridge]

I forget to forget me

I forget to forget, you see

Nothing is important to me

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Holdin' back the fool again

Holdin' back, the fool pretends

I forget to forget, nothing is important

Holdin' back the fool again
