Have You Forgotten - Jenny Owen Youngs

I can’t let you be, cause your beauty won’t allow me

Wrapped in white sheets

Like an angel from a bedtime story

And shut out what they say

Cause your friends are messed up anyway

And when they come around

Somehow they feel up and you feel down

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

And October leaves cover everything

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?

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

When we were kids, we hated things our sisters did

Backyard summer pools and Christmases were beautiful

And the sentiment of coloured mirrored ornaments

And the open drapes

Look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes

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?
