Forgot Myself
Jen Cloher
You’d been gone so long you could have been dead
Piles of books you bought but never read
Paint a still life of your side of the bed
Patti Smith poems, a hair tie and some vitamins
There’s only so much you can say in a text
Reading between the lines is hazardous
A slow reply can really mess with your head
I was feelin’ kinda free
Now I'm desperate
Oh God, I forgot myself
Oh God, I forgot my health
I seen it coming but it’s too late now
Oh God, oh God, I forgot myself
I was shooting for a different score
My head, my heart, the way, the open door
Like a fly up against the window
The open sky, so close, I’ll never know
See my reflection staring back in the glass
I'm getting older
I know, that things don’t last
For all the time I spend worrying
Most things they never happen
Oh God, I forgot myself
Oh God, I forgot my health
I seen it coming but it’s too late now
Oh God, oh God, I forgot myself
You’re riding round the world
You’re doing this and you’re signing that
The facts are that you’re there and I'm here
When you’re gone too long I become an idea
I'm driving in my car
Your song comes on the radio
And I remember what I always forget
Loneliness
