I want to blame you

for forgetting me slowly

leaving me lonely

But I can't blame you

like I blamed my man

when he dumped me and ran

You're forgetting me slowly

just a bit at a time

but it isn't your crime.

The moments we shared

are receding like your hairline

you're forgetting them slowly

now you don't even notice

when I've walked in the door

The moments we shared

are not there any more

you're forgetting them slowly

leaving me lonely

I wish I could save something

clutch a bit of the past

What did it all mean

if nothing will last?

Where's it all going -

all that you knew?

you're forgetting it slowly

where is it seeping to?

And why can't I find the leak

the hole in your mind

and fix it, patch it up, make it new?

You're forgetting me slowly

you're leaving me lonely

though you're leaving me

lonely

I'll never

leave you.
