Forget Yourself Not Songtext
von Freya Magee

You couldn′t remember much from the first time we met
I had to tell you all the things that you said
With all you drank, it's expected
That your mind just reset
But you couldn′t remember much at our dinner date vignette
Had to repeat all the things that I said
I'm not mad, just disappointed
You could so easily forget

Your stirring words all tumble out onto the tablecloth
I sit there taking in all of the things you say you want
But I come back from the bar and find it's been cleared away
Tied up in plastic and flung out into the alleyway
And all I′m left with is a headache from the cabernet
Bet there was nothing in that black bag for me anyway


So don′t mind me
I won't give too much of myself
To someone who forgets themselves
No, I can′t do carousels
And mind you
Forget me all you want
But forget yourself not
Forget yourself not

I don't remember every drunken dream I say
I know they rarely hold up in the light of Sunday
But I dread when your eyes glaze
Staring at forks ahead continuing to stagnate

You can spend your time however and with who you like
There′s no comparison ladder where you falling behind
But I can't stand by and watch another clever guy
Ask for my help and then tomorrow forget why

So don′t mind me
I won't give too much of myself
To someone who forgets themselves
But I can still wish you well
And mind you
Forget me all you want
But forget yourself not
Forget yourself not


It's like every morning is a blank slate
But your burnt hand′s reaching for the same flame
And I′m done watching the reruns, watching the reruns decay
Even the old me could learn new tricks
So how long do you think you can keep doing this?
Ah

I hope you remember how tall you could grow
The promises to yourself that you owe
Song by someone you used to know
Cause I can't remember for us both
