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
