I must remember to forget you To my heart I must be kind And I’m remembering to forget Nearly all my lonely time And though I make and effort And try to do it right When I remember to forget you You’re always on my mind You ask me why it is I cry And what makes me so sad But I have tried to see the light Still, in the clouds I stand You tell me not to worry It all will ease with time But when I remember to forget You’re always on my mind You can’t deny the irony Of what this task requires A scholar knows to study hard Takes a fevered mind And so long I’ve run a fever A condition called “apart” My stable mind is running wild When it listens to my heart I know this isn’t rational And this is what I fight Coz when I remember to forget When I remember to forget you When I remember to forget You’re always on my mind
