Funny how we remember what we want to forget,
How we forget what we want to remember.
Tears fall with monsoon rains and I’m wet.

I’m just a piece on their chess set,
But I didn’t feel like being one in the summer.
Funny how we remember what we want to forget.

Brother and I had a dangerous bet,
I am who I am and I don’t want to be her.
Tears fall with monsoon rains and I’m wet.

I’m claustrophobic where I sit,
It’s warm, but feels like December.
Funny how we remember what we want to forget.

That’s over and I hear the flush of a toilet.
I don’t like what I see in the mirror.
Tears fall with monsoon rains and I’m wet.

It’s a struggle and I’m not sure how to deal with it.
Memories flood and it’s such a bummer.
Funny how we remember what we want to forget.
Tears fall with monsoon rains and I’m wet.
