To Forgive (Live in Washington D.C., 1/6/96) lyrics

[Audience Applause]

[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
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 pretends
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 mе
Nothing is important, you see
I forget to forget, yeah

[Verse 3]
I knеw my loss
Before I even learned to speak
And all along, I knew it was wrong
But I played along, with my birthday song

[Chorus]
Holding back the fool again
Holding back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holding back the fool again

[Audience Applause]
