Where Do I Go From Here?

(Album: The Art Of Forgetting - 2023)

The party is over, the cake has been cut
All the champagne poured out, everyone's drunk
Ain't it just like me to seal my own fate?
I arrived but just a little too late

Sometimes it seems life's a big dumpster fire
Or a series of memory, funeral pyres
We're born at point A, live to point B
If we make it to C we forget everything

Shuffle the cards but it's all the same
'Cause only the jokers get to play this game
And only the rich ever get second chances
So throw on a dress and we'll kill ourselves dancing

So where do I go?
So where do I go from here?
Oh, where do I go from here?
From here

Enjoy yourself but don't kiss and tell
And never ever feel sorry for yourself
Everyone wants a seat at the table
Well, I just wanna be swaddled and rocked in my cradle

You can't escape the pain that you're in
No, you've got to face it now, you can't pretend
Oh shut up, conscience, I don't need your help
I know I'm getting soft and I'm losing myself

There's something about letting go
That I've never understood
I've got to face it, life goes on
The memories live on in this song

Pick yourself up, babe, you're gonna be fine
Take in a deep breathe, quit wasting your time
'Cause everything you love, it's all gonna die
So pay all your respects, and say your goodbyes
Now go out and start living the rest of your life

Come on now, babe, take all this pain
And learn to love yourself again
Come on now, babe, take all this pain
And learn to love yourself again
Come on now, babe, take all this pain
And learn to love yourself again

Come on now, babe, take all this pain
And learn to love yourself again
