Don't Forget Me

(album: No Longer Hollow - 2022)

Tell my mother I wish that I never gave into the temptation
Tell my brother, my past was affected by his intimidation, oh
I don't wanna be mad but I'm sick of losing all of my patience
On people that I should love

Tell my father I thought he would give a little more to our family
Tell my daughter I wish I were there when she got back in that taxi, oh
I don't wanna be sad, but I don't believe I've ever been happy
And now that we've all lost touch

I'm left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought now
I have no evidence
That we share the same blood

How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away
How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I'm irrelevant?
All I ask is don't forget me

Tell my wife she was right, I'd be seeking out the scent of her fragrance
As I learn what it's like to be heavy in a body so vacant
Still our minds will collide leaving me with nothing but a headache
As I push to the side any thought of you I cannot erase

I'm left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought now
I have no evidence
That we were once in love

How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away
How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I'm irrelevant?
All I ask is don't forget me

Remind me not to fall in love
The aftermath is far too much
If all I am is all you are
Then without me, we'll fall apart

How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away
How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I'm irrelevant?
All I ask is don't forget me
