Help Me Forget Lyrics

White dotted lines running by me to my right

Faster than the memories I hold of our last night

And yet

It does nothing to help me forget

So turn the music louder maybe it can take away

The pain of having lost your gentle breath against my face

And yet

It does nothing to help me forget

When I close my eyes there's just one face that I see

Staring at me happily but lying through her teeth

And yet

How could I forget

Everything you did for me, everything we shared

I'd never want to leave it someplace I didn't care

And yet

It'd be better to forget

Now my friends are talking bout what's next and with who

They don't realize just how much I'm stuck behind on you

And yet

You're not what I regret

What really strikes me deepest is the trust I held inside

And all I wanna know is why you disappeared outright

And yet

I try not to be upset

Cuz I'm sure you had your reasons and I'm sure that they were fair

But would it really be so bad to turn to me and share

And yet

I find myself beset

By a pain deep inside, a pain I thought I'd left behind

Feeling like I'm not enough no matter how I try

So can you blame me

If it'd be better to forget

Day by day you fade away from my view

You're never fully gone

So I'll stay true to this path and hope soon

It's the pain and not you

That I forget

It's a part of life it doesn't always go my way

I might be naive but I don't want this all to fade

You mattered to me once and that matters to me now

I want to meet again and when we do I want to laugh

When I close my eyes there's just one face that I see

Staring at me happily, our differences at ease

And as we go our separate ways and seek our own relief

I won't forget
