I feel second-hand, I am the wicked one
If my children invite me over I act unhappy
And when they visit me I am the transparent one
I appear pale, I sob
My children clean me, strangers make me believe
That when I see myself, I am already dead
If I lose my memory, it's best not to worry
It's that my life has reached the night of a sad day
If I lose my mind, don't be angry
If it's no longer my house, leave me in the hall
If I lose my marbles*, and if that worries you
If it hurts you too much, or if I don't recognize you
And if I lose my mind, don't pity me
My head is a crowd of forgotten faces
I feel worn, I am like a mummy
My children move me around like an old manuscript
And my pages are breaking, I am badly written
I feel strange, I get dressed too late
I think back to times when, without knowing,
I raced with time without saying goodbye to myself
If I lose my memory, it's best not to worry
It's that my life has reached the night of a sad day
If I lose my mind, don't be angry
If it's no longer my house, leave me in the hall
If I lose my marbles, and if that worries you
If it hurts you too much, or if I don't recognize you
And if I lose my mind, don't pity me
My head is a crowd of forgotten faces
If I lose my memory, it's best not to worry
It's that my life has reached the night of a sad day
If I lose my mind, don't be angry
If it's no longer my house, leave me in the hall
If I lose my marbles, and if that worries you
If it hurts you too much, or if I don't recognize you
And if I lose my mind, don't pity me
Soon I'll be mad and you will have forgotten me
