lyrics

I forgot how dark it gets
Midnight sun begins to set
I wouldn’t be here now if I remembered how
Dismal it does get
It’s easy when I forget

I forgot how cold it gets
Below forty begins to set
I pushed the pain away and made the same mistakes
I haven’t learned from them yet
It’s easy when I forget

I try to move forward
But I keep on moving back

I forgot how dark you get
You never yelled when we first met
When you did, I ran but I came back again
Though you haven’t apologized yet
It’s easy when we forget

I forgot how cold I get
While we recall regrets
Every tear you shed goes over my head
You sit alone with your cigarette
It’s easy when we forget

We try to move forward
But we keep on moving back
