lyrics

Talk behind my back what you don't say to my face
I feel at home when I'm in the wrong place
I'm panicking but yet I am feeling so calm
I don't believe in fortune tellers, read me my palm
The truth will always hurt but it's always lies
We'll live forever but we're all gonna die
So busy but I ain't got nothing to do
You know I know the answer so give us a clue

Remember to forget, guilty innocence with no regret
An ancient drama no reprise. So obvious but no surprise

High on life but now I'm feeling so low
So many places but nowhere to go
A closed book I wear my heart on my sleeve
I love it all but it means nothing to me
The truth will always hurt but it's always lies
We'll live forever but we're all gonna die
So busy but I ain't got nothing to do
You know I know the answer so give us a clue

Remember to forget, guilty innocence with no regret
An ancient drama no reprise. So obvious but no surprise

Compliments insult me, I don't know what to think
My thirst is quenched so give me a drink
And please stop lying 'cos the truth always hurts
You know I'm clean but I'm diggin' the dirt
So catch me up and please stop racing ahead
I cannot hear but I know what you said
What you could give to me nobody could lend
We've only just begun and come to an end

Remember to forget, guilty innocence with no regret
An ancient drama no reprise. So obvious but no surprise
