It's strange the things I remember I could never really put it down But it seems to make more sense Now that I'm required to remember Things I begged to forget I wanted to remember the bad And forget all about the good Hoping I could put it passed me And as my brain is an obedient servant I forgot all the good and kept the bad It's hard to see you any other way now I can't remember my first schoolday Just a few last ones But I can remember my first word It was "thank you" Although I meant to say "please" I can't remember the names Of my classmates from primary school But I remember that day we got lost I was 3 years old And how scared I was Just like that I can't remember How you made me feel But I remember what you said I can't remember what you meant But I can see the letters appearing before me

Remember
It's strange the things I remember I could never really put it down But it seems to make more sense Now that I'm required to remember Things I begged to forget I wanted to remember the bad And forget all about the good Hoping I could put it passed me And as my brain is an obedient servant I forgot all the good and kept the bad It's hard to see you any other way now I can't remember my first schoolday Just a few last ones But I can remember my first word It was "thank you" Although I meant to say "please" I can't remember the names Of my classmates from primary school But I remember that day we got lost I was 3 years old And how scared I was Just like that I can't remember How you made me feel But I remember what you said I can't remember what you meant But I can see the letters appearing before me
