[Verse 1]
Ten times removed
Forget about where it all began
Bastard son of bastard son of
Wild-eyed child of the sun
Right as rain, I'm not the same
But I feel the same, I feel nothing

[Chorus]
Holdin' back that fool again
Holdin' back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holdin' back that fool again

[Verse 2]
I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to talk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won't come back

[Chorus]
Holding back the fool again
Holdin' back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holdin' back the fool again
[Bridge]
I forget to forget
Nothing is important to mе
Ha-la-la-da-da-da
Ha-da

[Verse 3]
I knew my loss
Before I еven learned to speak
And all along, I knew it was wrong
But I played along with my birthday song

[Chorus]
Holdin' back the fool again
Holdin' back, the fool pretends
I forget to forget, nothing is important
Holdin' back the fool again
