Remember Me

(Verse)
I’m sitting by your bedside, holding your hand. 
Praying to God, trying to understand. 
The quiet heartbeat, her breath so frail, 
Asking why her memory had to fail. 
Looking at me with an unrecognizable stare, 
Trying to place the face that I bear. 
All of the memories we had together,
Just float away like a feather. 

(Pre-chorus) 
What do you remember when you look at me?
Do you see the man you raised me to be?

(Chorus)
Remember me, when the lights fade out,
When the names and faces blur in doubt.
I’m still the boy who held your hand,
Still chasing dreams you helped me plan.
If all the world just slips away,
And yesterday don’t feel the same,
Through every broken memory…
Please remember me.

(Verse 2)
You used to tell me stories late at night,
Laughing ‘til the morning light.
Now every word just fades too fast,
Like you’re losing pieces of your past.
Pictures hang but they don’t speak,
Your voice is there but it sounds so weak.
I call your name, you look right through,
Like I’m a stranger standing next to you.

(Pre-Chorus)
Does a part of you still know my face?
Or did time just slowly erase?

(Chorus)
Remember me, when the lights fade out,
When the names and faces blur in doubt.
I’m still the boy who held your hand,
Still chasing dreams you helped me plan.
If all the world just slips away,
And yesterday don’t feel the same,
Through every broken memory…
Please remember me.

(Bridge- this is the emotional peak)
If I could trade every breath I take,
For one more moment before it breaks,
I’d bring you back to who you were,
Before the lines began to blur.
And if you can’t find me in your mind,
I’ll be right here by your side…
Even if you don’t know my name,
My love for you won’t fade away.

(Final Chorus – bigger, more desperate)
Remember me, when the lights fade out,
When the names and faces blur in doubt.
I’m still the boy who held your hand,
Still chasing dreams you helped me plan.
If all the world just slips away,
And yesterday don’t feel the same,
Through every broken memory…
Please remember me.
Remember me, don’t let me go,
I’m right here, I need you to know.
I’m still the one you held so close,
When I needed you the most.
If this is how it has to be,
And you forget your memories…
Just know my heart will always see…
The one who never forgot me.
