Sometimes I Forget - Seam

I was so close to it

Your words had a sting

For the first time I noticed

A tick in your cheek

One hand on the jar

One hand on my heart

Thinking about it, I’m thinking about it

I was so close to it, I was so close to it

Your words had a bite

Your words had a right

Sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget

And your problems seem unreal to me

Sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget

And your problems seem so unreal

I get a taste of it

Where there is pain

In a town like this

In a town that’s like death

I could taste the soot

In the rain and the words

Stuck in my mouth to the roof of my mouth

I am searching

I am able to walk right by without missing

I’m ashamed that I waited

To cross the street to avoid your look

Sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget

And your problems seem unreal to me

Sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget

And your problems seem so unreal

Sometimes I forget.
