You Remember When It’s Convenient

**Verse I**
I still choke on your name
Like it owes me an apology
You left me breathing in wreckage
And called it *“what was meant to be”*

You got clean hands and closure
I got nights that never end
You rewrote us like a rumor
And I’m the lie you won’t defend

**Pre-Chorus**
You don’t forget by accident
You forget on purpose

**Chorus (Angry)**
YOU FORGOT ME
LIKE I WAS NOTHING
LIKE I DIDN’T BREAK FOR YOU
YOU WALKED AWAY
WITHOUT LOOKING BACK
LIKE IT WAS EASY TO DO
I’M THE SCAR YOU COVER UP
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR PAST
I’M THE PART OF YOUR LIFE
YOU ERASED SO YOU COULD FUCKING LAST

**Verse II**
I watched you learn to love again
In the time it took me to collapse
You found comfort in new arms
While I was buried in the gaps

I stayed loyal to the truth
While you lied until it fit
You don’t miss what you abandoned
You just miss the benefits

**Pre-Chorus (Rising, bitter)**
You say my name like it’s harmless now
Like it didn’t ruin me

**Chorus (Heavier)**
YOU FORGOT ME
LIKE I WAS USELESS
LIKE I WAS JUST A TEST
YOU TOOK THE BEST PARTS OF ME
AND LEFT ME WITH THE FUCKING REST
I’M THE WEIGHT YOU NEVER CARRIED
THE PRICE YOU NEVER PAID
I’M THE LOVE YOU USED UP
AND THREW THE FUCK AWAY

**Bridge (Explosive)**
DON’T SAY YOU TRIED
DON’T SAY YOU CARED
YOU DON’T GET CREDIT
FOR BEING THERE

YOU DON’T GET TO GRIEVE ME
LIKE I DIED
I’M STILL HERE
YOU JUST CHOSE ANOTHER LIFE

**Break (Screamed)**
I WAS THERE
WHEN IT WAS HARD
YOU WERE GONE
WHEN IT MATTERED

**Final Chorus (Angriest / emotional peak)**
YOU FORGOT ME
BUT I REMEMBER EVERYTHING
EVERY PROMISE
EVERY FUCKING LIE
YOU FOUND PEACE
IN SOMEONE ELSE
WHILE I WAS BLEEDING OUT INSIDE
IF I’M A GHOST
THEN YOU MADE ME
WHEN YOU DECIDED I WAS DONE
I HOPE IT HAUNTS YOU
WHEN YOU REALIZE
I WAS THE ONLY ONE

**Outro (Cold, furious quiet)**
I don’t want revenge
I don’t want you back

I just want you to know
You didn’t forget me
