[Verse 1]
I keep forgetting that it's over that we've really said goodbye
But my tears refresh my memory each time I start to cry
I keep forgetting all the sadness and how lonely I can be
I just can't think my mind is blank oh absent minded me

[Verse 2]
I keep reaching out to hold you in the darkness of our room
But my arms are always empty how can I forget so soon
I'll tie a string around my finger to remind me that you're gone
I'll mark the days on my calendar that I have been alone
I can't recall what happened or just why you set me free
But with each tеar I'll remember dеar oh absent minded me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I keep reaching out to hold you in the darkness of our room
But my arms are always empty how can I forget so soon
I'll tie a string around my finger to remind me that you're gone
I'll mark the days on my calendar that I have been alone
I can't recall what happened or just why you set me free
But with each tear I'll remember dear oh absent minded me
Oh absent minded me
