Hey-hey-hey-hey I said, ooh-ooh-yeah Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing and you know it, baby Tell me your troubles and doubts Giving me everything inside and out now Love's strange, so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on Slow change may pull us apart I'll get us back together at heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you forget about me Will you stand above me And look my way and never love me? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down Would you recognize me Call my name or walk on by? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down Hey-hey-hey-hey I said, ooh-ooh-yeah Don't you try and pretend It's my feeling, we'll win in the end I won't harm you or touch your defenses Vanity, insecurity Now don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing and you know it, baby Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you forget about me As you walk on by Will you call my name?

I heard he left you Been too long Been too long since we spoke I never understood you How you'd press on my heart till I broke Who loved you better? I need to know Nothing lasts forever Where do those feelings go? Don't you forget about me Don't you forget about me Said you couldn't live without me That I gave you the warmth that you missed Always knew there'd be others How many lives have you had since we kissed? Who loved you better? I need to know Nothing lasts forever Where do those feelings go? Don't you forget about me Don't you forget about me Don't you forget about me Tell me you'll always remember What we had before it all fell apart Don't you forget about me, baby Is it right if I love you more? (Don't you forget about me) Tell me you'll always remember What we had before it all fell apart (Don't you forget about me) Don't you forget about me, baby Is it right if I love you more? (Don't you forget about me)

I know my days are numbered I've been in and out of phase But these days keep passing me by Good never comes my way Try to sit back and relax Try and think of something good Something else Something pure I can't but know I should Things I should have said Things that I regret And I regret No more waiting for something better to come along It's much easier to change me than it is to change them all Things I should have said and things that I regret Need to shed all my skin and start again Every turn I make is wrong I haven't smiled in so long Shed my skin and start again The memories that I once had of the good time We all used to have Shed my skin and start again

If tomorrow never shows I want you all to know That I loved you all, you're beautiful And I had myself a ball I've wasted so much precious time Been skating along these fine lines Now these weeds have grown where the sun once shown And my life has passed me by And my life has passed me by And I don't know why I keep searching for something that I never found While these weeds get deeper as I turn around And time grows older and I've grown colder So long has passed that I forgot to count These weeds have grown where the sun once shown And I can feel it Today I cut off all the ties Been led blind for all this time But somewhere in between the lies Are the hearts and minds of those who tried And although I've heard your lies... This space between us...

Can't separate the lies from reality Can't hold back these knives from penetrating me Can't wash away this crime, rolling down my face And everything is gone, gone and stripped away Say it's over 'cause I need some closure Say it's over, can't look me in the eyes Say it's over 'cause I need some closure I gave you everything, you gave me this black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can confess this time it wasn't my doing Can't erase it from my mind, desperation rings Can't wash away this crime from rolling down my face Everything is gone, gone and stripped away Say it's over 'cause I need some closure Say it's over, can't look me in the eyes Say it's over 'cause I need some closure I gave you everything, you gave me this black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine I can't take it, I can't fake it no more This black heart of mine Mine Mine

When all is said and done I'll always be your son But all is not forgiven Well I'm on my knees pleading Just 'cause I'm grown you think I don't need Much more than what you've ever given me So when we gonna get together Seems there's no time for me You act like you got forever You've got time, but you ain't got time for me You said you've got time But you ain't got time for me Now that you've gone and tossed The bottle away now will ya Start a new life with the new wife Well she'll never be my mother I suppose that you know you oughta Remember the ones you left behind You're just letting it slip away now You act like things are fine I know you think you've been born again But this time You're leaving your son behind This time This time This time

There's blood on the floor And you're not even moving Don't really know if it's mine or yours But you ain't moving Eyes are wide as you grin at me You know there's a place where you'd rather be If you should die and I survive How could I go on knowing that I'm still alive Here breathing There's a beast that's living deep within me Forcing me to feed all my needs Yeah he's in me And he brought us here to end our fears To wave goodbye to all of the tears To start a new life on the other side of the river Well my world would be over Hold on, hold on, I won't be long Wait for me, man, I won't be long You were such in a rush to reach the other side Look at yourself with that look in your eye Smiling wide and pre-occupied with that river Well my world would be over

Is there something wrong with me? Ripping through the walls Tearing at the doors of education Not that it's my fault I just can't help but sort Through the pieces Secluded from the whore I focus at the board-I'm out of focus CHORUS There must be a way There's got to be a way to overcome this It's these words and music That keeps me living, keeps me breathing It may not be much But this is all I got And I'm smiling It all seems so pointless The hours seem so endless And for what? I'd rather be working Breaking my back doing something CHORUS At least I have my brothers, my band and my lover What more could I need? I buried my friend the other day And I saw my life in a different way It was a cold afternoon for a funeral I did not shed a tear as I watched the snow fall Is there something wrong with me? When did I become this empty? As I gazed down at his grave I knew that someday I'd end up That way!
