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
