Forget me

You look my way like a stranger in disguise

The sparkle fades from your tired gray eyes

I stand here screaming but you don't hear me call

How can you forget me like I meant nothing at all?

You look but don’t remember my name

Lost in the shadow of your memory game

I’m the face you knew but the light has gone

How can you forget me and keep moving on?

I wrote my name in the sand by the shore

But waves took it

Like you did before

I trace the letters in the air where I stand

But they scatter away like dust from my hand

You look but don’t remember my name

Lost in the shadow of your memory game

I’m the face you knew but the light has gone

How can you forget me and keep moving on?

My name’s the echo you refuse to hear

The photograph that fades year by year

I’m the tune that haunts but you won’t hum

How can you forget me as if I’ve never come?

You look but don’t remember my name

Lost in the shadow of your memory game

I’m the face you knew but the light has gone

How can you forget me and keep moving on?
