I was the champion of forgive forget
But I haven't found a way
To forgive you yet
And though I know you and I are through
All my thoughts are lines converging in on you

I wish sometimes, the mind were blind

I see, what must be seen
To feel, what can't be real
To know, what's done is done - it goes on and on

I am the victim of a persistent vision
It tracks me down with it's precision
And though I know you're not in my eyes
I can't seem to clear you from my mind

I wish sometimes, the mind were blind

I see, what must be seen
To feel, what can't be real
To know, what's done is done - goes on and on

Help me. I can't see at all.

I was the champion of forgive forget
But I haven't a way to forgive you yet
And though I know you're not in my eyes
I can't clear persistent vision

    It could just be the state of mind i'm always in, but i'm pretty sure he's talking about the end of a relationship, obviously one he didn't end. He wants to forgive and forget and, most importantly, move on with his life, but he can't stop thinking about the girl in question.
