To Forgive (Double Door Rehearsal, 2/27/95) lyrics
by The Smashing Pumpkins
[Verse 1]
Ten times removed
I forget about where it all began
bast*rd son of a bast*rd son of
A wild-eyed child of the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
And right as rain, I'm not the same
But I feel the same, I feel nothing
[Chorus]
Holding back the fool again
Holding back, the fool pretend
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
[Verse 2]
I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to talk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won't come back
[Chorus]
Holding back the fool again
Holding back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
[Bridge]
Nothing is important to me
Nothing is important to me
I forget to forget me
[Verse 3]
I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to speak
And I remember
And I remember
[Chorus]
Holding back the fool again
Holding back, the fool pretend
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
