Keep forgetting to Forget

You came into my life like a shockwave Caught me off guard And took my breath away I couldn't see beyond you I entered a world I wasn't familiar with You're not worth spilling tears over You breathed life into me just as fast as you took it away I tell myself to stop looking back But I keep forgetting to forget They say you're not one in a million You're one out of a billion It's clear to me now that I made a mistake How do I go back and clean the slate? Because I keep forgetting to forget You made me a mess But that memory of you is what keeps me alive It made me who I am I want to forget But I keep forgetting to forget I will not forget who you truely are And who I was My past with you made me see Through the fog and the smoke That you forced upon me As my life becomes clearer With distance from you To survive I will keep forgetting to forget
