Lyrics for To Forgive

Ten times removed I forget about where it all began Bastard son of a bastard son of A wild eyed child of the sun And right as rain I'm not the same but I feel the same I feel nothing Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget, nothing is important Holding back the fool again I sensed my loss Before I even learned to talk And I remember my birthdays Empty party afternoons won't come back Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget, nothing is important Holding back the fool again I forget to forget me I forget to forget, you see Nothing is important to me I knew my loss Before I even learned to speak And all along, I knew it was wrong But I played along With my birthday song Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget, nothing is important Holding back the fool again
