Sometimes I Forget

I was so close to it
Your words had a sting
For the first time I noticed
A tick in your cheek
One hand on the jar
One hand on my heart
Thinking about it, I'm thinking about it
I was so close to it, I was so close to it
Your words had a bite
Your words had a right

Sometimes I forget
Sometimes I forget
And your problems seem unreal to me
Sometimes I forget
Sometimes I forget
And your problems seem so unreal

I get a taste of it
Where there is pain
In a town like this
In a town that's like death
I could taste the soot
In the rain and the words
Stuck in my mouth to the roof of my mouth
I am certain
I am able to walk right by without missing
I'm ashamed that I waited
To cross the street to avoid your look

Sometimes I forget
Sometimes I forget
And your problems seem unreal to me
Sometimes I forget
Sometimes I forget
And your problems seem so unreal

Sometimes I forget.. (x4)
