Forget - Caroline's Spine

As I wander through this house 
Where my man became a mouse 
I can see how we started so innocently. 
As I agonize my way through another yesterday 
I still don't know how you could have sunk so low 
You wouldn't follow me with the rest of them 
Now I'm by myself. 
You wouldn't protect me from the rest of them 
I'm beside myself and I'm trying to forget... 
As I wrap up the things we shared 
I try to convince myself I never cared 
Yet I feel that we were the only real thing. 
When I think back to when we were one 
Then you accuse me of things I never could've done 
And you never confessed of looking for excuses. 
You wouldn't follow me with the rest of them 
Now I'm by myself. 
You wouldn't protect me from the rest of them 
I'm beside myself and I'm trying to forget... 
So I retreat to my family 
Who showed you endless generosity and yes, 
I hear a sigh of disbelief. 
And I will go on with my life, court another, 
Maybe gain a wife and I'll try to outgrow 
Just going through the motions. 
You wouldn't follow me with the rest of them 
Now I'm by myself 
You will alwasy be a step ahead 
In the back of my head 
While I'm trying to forget 
I'm trying to forget you...
