I’ve been moved to tears
By the lovestruck and alone
A construct of all my fears
At the end of the phone
They’ve been holding out
For me to disappear
But I owe them nothing
I’m staying here
Maybe I forgot to take my medicine
Maybe I forgot to let you know
I know security won’t let me in
When the winds of change they blow
I’ve been hanging on
By my nails all broke and torn
Something here is wrong
Or just dead and gone
They have lots to say
About my monster, not me
It’s far more interesting
Than I can be
Maybe I forgot to turn away
From staring directly at the sun
Maybe I forgot to be ok
But that’s not for everyone
Maybe I forgot to do my washing today
Maybe I forgot to do my tax returns
Maybe I forgot to clean the knife
Maybe I forgot to soothe the burns
Maybe I forgot where I threw the shoes
Maybe I forgot my travel comb
Maybe I forgot where I parked the car
Maybe I’ll take the long way home
