I would like to forget
To smile at the world and maybe laugh a little
To let my mind wander as I lay back
And look at the sky with a smile on my face
To relax for a while in the silence of my thoughts
A thing now foreign to me

I would like to forget
That I did not notice my favorite song
When it played on the radio this morning
For I am a man now with a burden
Too heavy for these young shoulders of mine
But I doubt even a man grown would carry it
And for that, I wish this predicament on nobody

I would like to forget
The man that I have become
And the young boy I once was\
For the two do not, and cannot coincide

If I had a bottle of whiskey for the night
I would ask for one more
To drink away these sorrows
And sing until the dawn
Washes the last of the night away

Weak, you might think
But I am strong
Even the strong deserve to rest
And I deserve to forget
Even if it's just for a while
