Forget — текст песни (Caroline`s Spine)

as i wander through this house
where my man became a mouse
i can see how we started so innocently.
as i agonize my way through another yesterday
i still don`t know how you could have sunk so low

you wouldn`t follow me with the rest of them
now i`m by myself.
you wouldn`t protect me from the rest of them
i`m beside myself and i`m trying to forget...

as i wrap up the things we shared
i try to convince myself i never cared
yet i feel that we were the only real thing.
when i think back to when we were one
then you accuse me of things i never could`ve done
and you never confessed of looking for excuses.

you wouldn`t follow me with the rest of them
now i`m by myself.
you wouldn`t protect me from the rest of them
i`m beside myself and i`m trying to forget...

so i retreat to my family
who showed you endless generosity and yes,
i hear a sigh of disbelief.
and i will go on with my life, court another,
maybe gain a wife and i`ll try to outgrow
just going through the motions.

you wouldn`t follow me with the rest of them
now i`m by myself
you will alwasy be a step ahead in the back of my head
while i`m trying to forget
i`m trying to forget you...
