Sometimes You Just Forget Things

I couldn't recall the name, the place or circumstances
A friendly, smiling face, the hurt shown in the glances
And ne'er a chance to think, the gaps filled in while I've descended

Let me out, I know that I am close
And yet, we seem so far removed
There's something just ahead, is it who I used to be?
Don't leave me

Roaming through a haze, a fog that's never lifting
Straighten out the sheets, I know that something's missing
Try to tell myself, sometimes you just forget things
Oh, though I am still alive, I am not alive
Falling and falling, the edge of recalling
The puzzle of my mind, the smaller deaths before I die

And still, the hands of time, they form the world I see
A world that was not meant for me
Becoming less and less of who I used to be

I am afraid, am I alone?
Will they all leave when I am gone ?
So many doors will stay unturned
And what I've known will be unknown

Just let me rest and hold my hand
Though my faces hides, I am still there
This is not home, it's not my own
I'm on my own

So run away before you see
See the death of me
And the end of us
I will understand

Control I have lost
My ambition, all for naught
Who was I?
Who am I?

Am I to believe you will stay with me?
Keep me company?
I may not know how or why, but I promise to never leave
Patient, I will be

I think I was supposed to say something here
I guess
