To Forgive by The Smashing Pumpkins Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ten times removed
I forget about where it all began
Bastard son of a bastard son of
A wild-eyed child of the sun
And 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]
I forget to forget me
I forget to forget, you see
Nothing is important to me

[Verse 3]
I knew 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
