You really ought to think about it 'Fore you leave me Before you walk out that door Hang your clothes in the closet You're forgetting one thing I'm the one who saved you From a long lonely life I'm the one who gave you

I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget Before I forget that! Hold your breath And listen! It justifies my means All I have to do is delay

Oh child, oh child And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regret From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget Oh, my father before he left Oh, there's one thing I wish he said "Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't

I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget Before I forget that! Hold your breath And listen! It justifies my means All I have to do is delay

I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget Before I forget that! Hold your breath And listen! It justifies my means All I have to do is delay

Take me, take me downtown Tonight, I want to forget I want lights to, blind me Play that song again, 'cause we were in love Before, before the rain began And if I cry-y, cover my ears In a deep sleep

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life We'll do it all

Let them hail the hollow one Bow before the damned Forge ahead into the night Forget the lessons of the past No remorse for the sinner No repent for the waking dead Hide their faces from the light Let the past live again We will still set in motion
