Out Of My Mind

Another quick write, wanted to make this better but not sure how ...

Out Of My Mind

-intro-
You just don't know
I loved you so

I try to forget
while remembering
And pretend that I don't care...
I really should just drift away
And imagine you're not there

A year ago
My whole life changed
Now nothing's what it used to be...
So how can I just "carry on"
When there's nothing left of me

My jokes and laughs
Are what you see
But that's not me right now...
I'm just a shell, a face, a voice
That sings the tears of a clown

It's all just fake
I'm here but not
I left me all behind...
The day I had to say goodby
To what was once divine

I lived in you
But now you're gone
And I'm out of my mind

(instrumental, heavy on cello or violins)

Since you're not there
I just don't care
Where I am, or not...
I write and sing most everything
Hoping I forgot...

I try to find
A way to numb
The pain I hide behind...
But I lived in you and now you're gone
And I'm out of my mind

I lived in you
But now you're gone
And I'm out of my mind

I love this one, it as so many lines I can connect with, and I love your use of almost-contradiction "I try to forget
while remembering".

If you ever make music for this you have to let me hear it

In spite of quick write It´s really amazing and deep lyrics!
I love these verses.
