"I Can't Forget"

One of the forgotten Plastic Mikey tunes. I do recall performing this one quite a bit, but it was never recorded, and now I can only hear it faintly in my head. I just ate a cheese sandwich with spicy mustard. Thought you might like to know.

I Can't Forget

© 1994 Brian Hutzell and Kevin Dempsey

I can't forget, I can't forget

You say the memory will fade, but it hasn't yet

I can't forget, I can't forget

Like waiting for the day the sun doesn't set

I can't forget, I can't forget

But there's not a single moment I will ever regret

I can't forget, I can't forget

And the truth of it is, I don't want to forget

The way you looked when you promised me your never-ending honesty

Thought it was forever

Never guessed that the best was already past

It went so fast

Crazy?  Yeah, I was crazy for you

Thinking things through too late

Hazy – my mind was hazy and blue

Picking the food off my plate

I can't forget, I can't forget

You say the memory will fade, but it hasn't yet

I can't forget, I can't forget

Like waiting for the day the sun doesn't set

I can't forget, I can't forget

But there's not a single moment I will ever regret

I can't forget, I can't forget

And the truth of it is, I don't want to forget

The way it came down

How I found out about the other guy

I couldn't understand why you'd want to leave me

And then deceive me

Guess it was just my turn

There was a lesson to learn

Breaking – I didn't enjoy breaking up with you

But maybe something new will come along

Making – I should be making my dreams come true

They're long overdue, but coming on strong

I can't forget, I can't forget

You say the memory will fade, but it hasn't yet

I can't forget, I can't forget

Like waiting for the day the sun doesn't set

I can't forget, I can't forget

But there's not a single moment I will ever regret

I can't forget, I can't forget

And the truth of it is, I don't want to forget

So I won't forget

But I won't let the memories interfere

I am here, now, moving ahead

But I can't forget, I can't forget
