Amnesia (My Friend)

first verse:
i remember your face, dear friend
i haven't seen you in a while
but i'm familiar with your smile, old friend
where you been?

it seems like years have gone by
but i'm just taking my time
not giving up, just stepped aside
wanted to fix a leaky faucet in my mind

tag:
it feels a little strange
distant bottles full of pain
i threw away
but i remember everyday

chorus:
this amnesia just ain't strong enough,
i can't forget, it's not a dream
it's just too much,
but
i have learned and i will live,
got to get up and play the game
because that's what this is,
and if i make it out of this in the end
i won't ever leave you again
my friend

second verse:
i remember losing sight of you
i was so cold and it was dark
there was no fire, not a spark
there was no truth
what did i do

and now you're back on my mind
but you were so hard to find
i couldn't see, but i wasn't blind
just played the part, i tried so hard but couldn't recognize

tag:
i'm sorry you were lost
i've got you back but at what cost
you look the same
but underneath it's still so strange

chorus:
this amnesia just ain't strong enough,
i can't forget, it's not a dream
it's just too much,
but
i have learned
and now i'll live,
got to get up and play the game
because that's what it is,
and if i see it out of this in the end
i'll never think of leaving again
my friend

bridge:
i'll never let
amnesia take me under
i can't pretend
i don't remember
i won't forget
frozen decembers
as long as you're still my reflection

end chorus:
this amnesia just ain't good enough,
i can't forget, it's not a dream
it hurts too much
but i will learn
and i will live
time to get up and play the game
because that's all it is,
and if i find the strength i need in the end
i promise i won't leave you again
you have my word my friend
