Forgettable

On the sidewalk in the city
There I see you
Mister cell phone, mister black coat
A stranger in conversation
Is lover gone? Are you all alone?
Has mother left you on your own?
If I read between the lines and
The creases (corners?) of your eyes
Tell your story, like you told me
I remember
This funny feeling overwhelms me

Rewind momentarily
You musta lost the memory
One or two years, one or two tears
You were such a part of me
And you have to know--cuz you were in my soul--
I’ve got to keep my self-control
I jump back into the city
Hey, are you looking at me?
Or maybe beside me, maybe behind me
You look at me
And then you look away

Here I am
And here I go
Cuz you don’t even know me
You don’t even know me at all
Am I so
Forgettable

I don’t understand those happy endings
Are people just pretending?
Or does everybody get one, but me?
And I – am I invisible?
And are you invincible
Or just insensitive?

Seems this sidewalk’s gotten crowded
Mister cell phone, mister black coat
There’s not room enough for the both of us

Here I am
And here I go
Cuz you don’t even know me
You don’t recognize me at all
Am I so
Forgettable, forgettable
Here I am
And here I go
Cuz you don't even know me
You don't recognize me at all
Am I so
Forgettable
Am I so
Forgettable
