Forget Everything

(album: Slow Down - 2021)

I knew when I hung up the phone
That it was the last time we'd talk
And I knew the truth but I hoped
That I might still be in your heart
Cause friends don't do with we did
We got way too close, way too soon
But now that you're done with us
I'm left alone to let go of you

But I can't just forget everything
And pretend we were never a thing
And it burned in my heart, how quick you moved on
But it's not so easy for me
Now I have to forget everything
Like the sound of your voice when you'd sing
And how your eyes would light up over something you loved
Oh, I hate how I love all these things
Now I have to forget everything

I know that I shouldn't have called
But at least now I know where you stand
You wanted the birds in the bush
When you had a bird in your hand
And you tell me there's somebody out there
Don't say that to me, don't you understand
Cause for so many months I was there
And I put it all in the palm of your hand

But I can't just forget everything
And pretend we were never a thing
And it burned in my heart, how quick you moved on
But it's not so easy for me
Now I have to forget everything
Like the sound of your voice when you'd sing
And how you were so gentle and soft to the touch
Oh, I hate how I love all these things
Now I have to forget everything
Now I have to forget everything

I hate that beauty's so deceiving
And now I've got nine reasons that I'm bleeding
I wish I could make you feel what I'm feeling
But I'm sure you don't care
And if you called me up and said you're sorry
I'd hold you close and I'd love you in a heartbeat
And that's the thing that I hate the most about me
That I'd still be there
