Forget Myself (song #94)

Forget Myself


I get no satisfaction
From all these distractions
Seems the more I get
The more I need

This release just winds me up
So much so that I can't stop
Seems the more I know
The less I believe

Still I look to you for something more

Sometimes I forget myself
But I can't blame no one else
So I might cry
Doesn't mean (that) I know why
Sometimes I forget myself
(Just) wanting to be someone else
Hard to find the "I"
In me sometimes

Piled high this gluttony
Full of things I thought I'd need
I can't fill the space
Nothing does it right

Truth is I can't help myself
So I still look to you for help
A yearning every day
A yearning every night

Still I can't be satisfied

Sometimes I forget myself
But I can't blame no one else
So I might cry
Doesn't mean (that) I know why
Sometimes I forget myself
(Just) wanting to be someone else
Hard to find the "I"
In me sometimes

Every step I take ahead
Seems to move me back instead
I know we've talked this through
And I know this isn't fair to you
And every time I fall back
I know it seems that I attack
I'm really just so lost
Too blind to count the cost

Still I lean on you even more

Sometimes I forget myself
But I can't blame no one else
So I might cry
Doesn't mean (that) I know why
Sometimes I forget myself
(Just) wanting to be someone else
Hard to find the "I"
In me sometimes
