Chose to Forget

I got a brother down in Texas
And a father up in heaven
And my mother thinks I’m no good
And I’d talk to my sister if I could

Well I ain’t got nobody left
I’ve scared away every woman I been with
My dog ran away last month
I don’t get paid enough for another one

I can fall asleep in some pretty strange places
it’s the familiar ones I tend to struggle with
And I don’t recognize not a one of these faces
Or maybe I just chose to forget?

All my friends have gone off, it seems
Gone off to do better things
While I'm still sitting here, writing these songs
Trying to stick to the only thing I know

My minds playing a game of tug of war
Seems my pride is starting to get sore
I’m just lost and and twisted all around
And I'd do anything to get myself out

I can fall asleep in some pretty strange places
it’s the familiar ones I tend to struggle with
And I don’t recognize not a one of these faces
Or maybe I just chose to forget?

I can’t even seem to look in the mirror
'Cuz I’m scared of the man who will appear

I can fall asleep in some pretty strange places
it’s the familiar ones I tend to struggle with
And I don’t recognize not a one of these faces
Or maybe I just chose to forget?
