Why can't I forget?

Why can't I forget the past?
Memories haunt my dreams.
I go to sleep but wake up fast
because my memories are like my family,
they won't let me be.

Sometimes I try to drink myself to sleep
but before I can go under too deep
the memories come back to haunt me.
I want to forget.
Why can't I forget?

I wake up screaming and sweaty
because of those stupid memories.
Not being able to sleep is screwing with my mind.
I go and hide, so I can cry alone like in the past
but people always seem to find me fast.
Why do they find me?
I just want to sleep.
Why can't I forget?

Sleep is a thing of the past for me
because of those damn memories.
I need to forget to sleep.
Why can't I forget?
Why?
