Trying not to remember, remembering to forget.

Bound to you so tightly,
I'm reminded I love you
This pain binds us together,
Tearing me in two
Trying not to remember, remembering to forget
Round and round my head is spinning
Falling deeper hurting more
Learning to love
Like I didn't learn before
Fearing, falling, spinning, turning
I hear you in my head
Screaming, hoping, crying, holding
I'm learning to trust again.


So cradle my heart gently, love
Leave your guns beside the door
Fall into my arms my love
Can I love you more?
Trying not to remember, remembering to forget
Please hold me gently love
I'm tearing out my soul.

How can I be so strong
For I still rip like gauze?


Some said you'd leave me broken
Others cried I wasn't worth the time
Maybe I was the Fool spoken,
You the angel in disguise
Running, screaming, laughing, bleeding
You still hold me tight
Falling, shouting, dying, holding
Don't turn out the lamp at night,
Trying not to remember, remembering to forget.


Sometimes I'm left to wonder
What's left in this world is right?

So cradle my heart gently love
Leave your guns beside the door
Shut the blinds tightly love
Care a little more.

Piece together the pieces
What is it that you see?

I bet you can't believe
This is the real me
Remain by my side my love
Until morning becomes nigh'
Watch as the flames lick up
What we left behind
Trying not to remember, remembering to forget
Just hold me tightly love
I cannot ask again...
