(I'll Cry Instead)


I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause this dementia has got me bad
If I could just remember
If it’s just July or just December
But I can't, so I'll try instead

You know senility has knocked me off my feet
Now I can’t go out in the street
If you could see me now
I know it would make you sad somehow
But you can't, so I'll try instead

I always forget when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do don t go treating me like a fool
‘Cause with dementia there are no hardfast rules
I never know what I’m gonna do
And I never remember anything too
Until then I'll try instead

I always forget when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do don t go treating me like a fool
‘Cause with dementia there are no hardfast rules
I never know what I’m gonna do
And I never remember anything too
Until then I'll try instead
