Have You Forgotten Lyrics by Red House Painters

Songs for a Blue Guitar

1996

[Verse 1]
I can't let you be
'Cause your beauty won't allow me
Wrapped in white sheets
Like an angel from a bedtime story
Shut out what they say
'Cause your friends are fucked up anyway
And when they come around
Somehow they feel up and you feel down
[Verse 2]
When we were kids
We hated things our parents did
We listened low
To Casey Kasem's radio show
That's when friends were nice
To think of them just makes you feel nice
The smell of grass in spring
In October, leaves cover everything
[Refrain]
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I can't believe
All the good things that you do for me
Sat back in a chair
Like a princess from a faraway place
Nobody's nice
When you're older, your heart turns to ice
And shut out what they say
They're too dumb to mean it anyway
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
When we were kids
We hated things our sisters did
Backyard summer pools
And Christmases were beautiful
And the sentiment of colored, mirrored ornaments
And the open drapes
Look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes
[Refrain]
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
