I FORGET Lyrics

Artist: Carly Simon
Album: Bedroom Tapes

I FORGET
WRITER CARLY SIMON

All my doctors and friends
Have concocted these theories
Weary of seeing me day after day
On the edge of my bed
Leery of living
My laughter on hold
My sadness on stay

And its been this way for quite a while
Yes, I forget how to smile
Id like to rely on my old game and yet
Even that I forget
Its not there, I regret

Couldnt get up today
I pretended a fever
Any excuse but the truth will do
I dont lie very well
No Im not a deceiver
But I cant bring myself to admit that Im blue

And its been this way
For quite a while
Yes, I forget how to smile
Id like to rely on my old game and yet
Even that I forget
Its not there, I regret

The clock and the calendar
Both an assault
Time goes so slow

It must be my fault
I act like Im okay
When Im not okay at all

I forget what to do
I forget what it all means
Dont remember if love ever really felt good
I forget to be here
And not in-between
Id put on a good show
If only I could

And its been this way for quite a while
Yes, I forget how to smile
Id like to rely on my old game and yet
Even that I forget
Its not there, I regret
I forget

"I liked" this on facebook, but not because I "Like" feeling like this. This song was my life after my sister Joan passed away. I would play it over and over again as I sat locked in my little room drinking my life away. Then I met The Lord, and he changed my life forever...

But now I sit here, having lost my brother Michael a month ago...

...and feeling myself- depressed?
