I remember

Verse 1

You look at me, say “What’s your name?”
I tell you slow — it sounds the same
You nod your head but something’s wrong
Like I’ve been gone all along
You say this house don’t feel like home
You say you hate being alone
You ask me why I disappear
But I’ve been standing right here

Pre-Chorus

You say the walls don’t look the same
Like someone went and rearranged
You try to hide it, try to pretend
But you don’t know where you’ve been

Chorus

You don’t know your name
And I’m so sorry
But baby, listen — that’s okay
I’ll say it again
And again and again
Till it feels like yesterday
I’ll stand right here
When the world’s unclear
When the colors start to thin
When you don’t remember who you’ve been
I’m right here —
I remember everything

Verse 2

Some days you laugh and call my name
Like nothing’s lost, like nothing’s changed
Some days you turn and look away
Like I’m the one who caused the pain
You say I’m keeping truth from you
Like I don’t tell you what is true
You fight for thoughts you cannot hold
Like they’re slipping through your soul

Pre-Chorus 2

You guard what little you can find
The fading pictures in your mind
But then you reach and take my hand
Like I’m the only thing you understand

Chorus

You don’t know your name
And I’m so sorry
But baby, listen — that’s okay
I’ll say it again
And again and again
Till it feels like yesterday
I’ll stay right here
When the world disappears
When the air gets paper thin
When you don’t remember who you’ve been
I’m right here —
I remember everything

Bridge

If there was a cure
I’d chase it down
Run every road
Through every town
If there was a door
Behind your eyes
I’d break it open
Every night
Bring back the light
Bring back your smile
Even if it stays
Just a little while
And if every name
Fades into space
You’ll never lose
My love, my face

Final Chorus

You don’t know your name
But that’s not the end
I’m still right here
I’m still your friend
I’ll say it again
And again and again
When the whole world caves in
When you don’t remember who you’ve been
I’m right here —
And I remember everything
