Don’t Forget Me

[Verse 1]
Tell my mother I wish that I never gave in to the temptation
Tell my brother my past was affected by his intimidation
Oh, I don't want to 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 want to be sad but I don't believe I've ever been happy
And now that we've all lost touch

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought
Now, I have no evidence
That we share the same blood

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought
Now, I have no evidence
That we were once in love

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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
