i couldn't be everything that you want me to be
i must have tried but i can't quite recall it
i couldn't be everything when there's nothing in me
i must have tried but now i'm tired and empty
where did i leave my head
where did i leave you
when have i ever said
"where did i leave you"
i couldn't be someone that i've never been
i must have tried but then i'm just an imitation
i couldn't be perfect
not when i'm so forgetful can i
i must have denied
all my inklings of madness
you must have seen when the daylight comes in that i'm still blind with unreason
you must have seen clearly you have and now you run from me
away from me
when i couldn't be
i'll never be
where did i leave my head
where did i leave you
when have i ever said
"where did i leave you"
oh i forget
