I keep forgetting
That it's over
That we've really said goodbye
But my tears refresh my memory
Each time I start to cry
I keep forgetting all the sadness
And how lonely I can be
I just can't think
My mind is blank
Oh, absent minded me
I keep reaching out to hold you
In the darkness of our room
But my arms are always empty
How can I forget so soon?
I'll tie a string around my finger
To remind me that you're gone
I'll mark the days on my calendar
That I have been alone
I can't recall what happened
Or just why you set me free
But with each tear
I'll remember, dear
Oh, absent minded me
I keep reaching out to hold you
In the darkness of our room
But my arms are always empty
How can I forget so soon?
I'll tie a string around my finger
To remind me that you're gone
I'll mark the days on my calendar
That I have been alone
I can't recall what happened
Or just why you set me free
But with each tear
I'll remember, dear
Oh, absent minded me
Oh, absent minded me
