So keep your distance from denial
We’ll bury it in sand
Keep your face in all its grace
Not buried in your hands
Do not linger on regret
You’re blacking out the truth
Do so love me with forget
To keep you in your youth
Forgive me; forgive yourself
You’ll feel it’s good to choose
Forgive it just a little
It helps distinguish you
Yesterday I saw you smile
I keep it with me now
So let me know when you’re not well
I’ll bring it back somehow
