[Verse 1] Ten times removed I forget about where it all began ba*tard son of a ba*tard son of A wild eyed child of the sun And right as rain, I'm not the same but I feel the same, I feel nothing [Chorus] Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget nothing is important Holding back the fool again [Verse 2] I sensed my loss Before I even learned to talk And I remember my birthdays Empty party afternoons won't come back [Chorus] Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget nothing is important Holding back the fool again [Bridge] I forget to forget me I forget to forget, you see Nothing is important to me [Verse 3] I knew my loss Before I even learned to speak And all along, I knew it was wrong But I played along, with my birthday song [Chorus] Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget nothing is important Holding back the fool again
