Forget

I forget how to love you

When I can't feel your weight

Push the color from my face

But if I let myself hate you

I only imitate

The faults I thought I had erased

But held up to the light

I almost find a reason to be kind

When my memory gets wiped

It's almost like the history isn't mine

I regret close to nothing

Isn't that what liars say

When they're trying to save face?

But if I get close to honest

The life I've fabricated

Feels too brittle not to break

But held up to the light

I almost find a reason to be kind

When my memory gets wiped

It's almost like the history isn't mine

What if changing doesn't change a thing?

I'd still tear my world apart

Just to keep from wondering

Apprehension could send me to my knees

Still, I'd throw open like the gates

I wouldn't have to feel a thing
