When I forget you love me
I analyze and deflect
Thinking that it's my heart
I need to protect.
When I forget you love me
All of our sweet moments cease to exist
I can't even recall
The pull of your kiss.
When I forget you love me
I strike and I bite
Forcing myself to blame you
With all of my might.
When I forget you love me
I cry in secret and hold things in
Painting you as the culprit
Of some great sin
But wait
I think I missed the point.
It's not your love I forget
But my own
When I forget I love you
It becomes only about me
Wanting to force you to change
To finally see
How I feel and suffer
What a burden you are to me
That you're supposed to by my buffer
Against all the tragedies that be
But if I simply remember what I know
I would see I'd been incredibly low
For it shouldn't matter; whatever you do
The simple truth is:
I love you
Nothing transcends that
