I Remember How To Forget Lyrics - Adrian Belew

Too many struggles, too many scenes 

A broken record of miseries 

And if you let it, it makes you cry 

And you can never be satisfied 

I see the victims of low esteem 

The empty people without a dream 

The bitter faces of bitter men 

And I don't want to end up one of them 

How will it make me cry 

If I won't let a tear in my eye 

How will it make me feel worse 

If I won't let it hurt 

I've been through trouble before 

I stood tall when I got up off the floor 

To find myself a different situation 

Now when the sun rolls across the sky 

And the autumn leaves fall before my eyes 

I can see the reason why 

I remember how to forget 

Too many troubles and memories 

Of disappointment and apathy 

And if you let it, it makes you hate 

You've got to learn to take it day by day 

I see the victims of low esteem 

The empty people without a dream 

The bitter faces of bitter men 

But I don't want to be one of them
