You Just Forget Sometimes
She says to me, The last few weeks have been hard, Don't I know it, For her it's all schoolwork and futures, For me, it's all work and futures, The truth is it's mostly the same between us, The doubts get too loud, The confidence gets turned down against the mountain in front of us, We're both staring at it like it all has to happen now, So I smile to myself, And I tell her, You've got it, You've always got it, You just forget sometimes, I tell her this so easily, I tell it to her, I tell her this because I can't tell myself, When my hands shake, My heart rumbles like a loading dock, With a truck coming in, When I'm on stage, And my legs won't, Stop, Trembling, Yet somehow none of you ever see it, So I'm just gonna stand here, Looking like I'm okay, Polishing my shield, Sharpening my pen, And quietly telling myself, You've got this, You've always got it, You just forget sometimes.
