Amnesia
Mr Kitty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From demons I hide
My mind is consumed
Fill me up with gloom
As I grow old, I will forget you
As time moves on, I won′t remember
As I grow old, I will forget you
Once there was a time
I could close my eyes
Condemned to my shell
Sickness and in health
As I grow old, I will forget you
As time moves on, I won′t remember
As I grow old, I will forget you
As time moves on, I won't remember
(Repeat x 2)
