Tell my mother
I wish that I never gave in to the temptation
Tell my brother
My past was affected by his intimidation

Oh, I don't want to be mad
But I'm sick of losing all of my patience
On people that I should love

Tell my father
I thought he would give a little more to our family
Tell my daughter
I wish I were there when she got back in that taxi

Oh, I don't want to be sad
But I don't believe I've ever been happy
And now that we've all lost touch

I'm left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought, now
I have no evidence
That we share the same blood

How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away

How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I'm irrelevant?
All I ask is, don't forget me

Tell my wife, she was right
I'd be seeking out the scent of her fragrance
As I learn, what it's like, to be heavy in a body so vacant

Still our minds, will collide
Leaving me with nothing but a headache
As I push, to the side, any thought of you I cannot erase

I'm left alight like a cigarette
Cast away without a thought
Now, I have no evidence
That we were once in love

How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away

How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I'm irrelevant?
All I ask is, don't forget me

Remind me not to fall in love
The aftermath is far too much
If all I am, is all you are
Then without me, you'll fall apart

How am I meant to love myself when
Feeling low is sown to my heritage?
If I try harder to explain
I will only push you away

How am I meant to love myself when
I believe deep down I'm irrelevant?
All I ask is, don't forget me
