A Name You’ll Forget

(Verse)

Yeah we started out slow on a tailgate night,

Cheap beer buzz under them neon lights,

You were laughing at a joke I don’t even recall,

But I remember thinking I could lose it all.

Gravel road kisses, radio low,

Talking ‘bout forever like we both didn’t know,

How fast them flames can turn to smoke,

Now I’m sitting here choking on every word you spoke.

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah I gave you every piece of me I had to give,

Now I’m just a ghost in the life you live…

(Chorus)

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Like the ash end of a burnt out cigarette.

I’ll be an echo in the wind,

Drifting towards a guaranteed end.

My face will fade into the black,

And you’ll just walk away, never to look back.

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Just another denial, just another regret.

Two years don’t mean a thing,

When heartache is the only real feeling.

Yea, I’m just a name you’ll forget.

(Verse)

Now I see your taillights in a different town,

Probably telling somebody how I let you down,

But you don’t say how you slammed that door,

Left my heart bleeding on a hardwood floor.

Got your picture face down on the dash of my ride,

Still fighting them demons I can’t outrun inside,

Every song on the radio hits too close,

Got me drinking with the memory of you like a ghost.

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah you moved on like it was nothing to lose,

While I’m still stuck here singing these blues…

(Chorus)

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Like the ash end of a burnt out cigarette.

I’ll be an echo in the wind,

Drifting towards a guaranteed end.

My face will fade into the black,

And you’ll just walk away, never to look back.

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Just another denial, just another regret.

Two years don’t mean a thing,

When heartache is the only real feeling.

Yea, I’m just a name you’ll forget.

(Bridge – half sung, half rap)

Yeah I gave you time, gave you trust, gave you everything,

Now I’m sitting here alone with a broken dream,

You were my ride or die, now you just ride away,

Guess forever only lasts ‘til somebody fades.

I was all in, you were halfway gone,

Now I’m writing your goodbye in another song…

(Chorus)

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Like the ash end of a burnt out cigarette.

I’ll be an echo in the wind,

Drifting towards a guaranteed end.

My face will fade into the black,

And you’ll just walk away, never to look back.

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Just another denial, just another regret.

Two years don’t mean a thing,

When heartache is the only real feeling.

Yea, I’m just a name you’ll forget.

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Like the ash end of a burnt out cigarette.

I’ll be an echo in the wind,

Drifting towards a guaranteed end.

My face will fade into the black,

And you’ll just walk away, never to look back.

I’m just a name you’ll forget,

Just another denial, just another regret.

Two years don’t mean a thing,

When heartache is the only real feeling.

Yea, I’m just a name you’ll forget.
