Forgot Myself Songtext
von Jen Cloher

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

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


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

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

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 drivin′ in my car
Your song comes on the radio
And I remember what I always forget
Loneliness

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
