Forget Everything

Forget everything I ever said,

I wanna be a book you never read.

Too many nights stuck in my head,

now I’m looking at the road ahead.

Our relationship is dead and gone,

still getting used to sleeping alone.

Picking up pieces you left behind,

trying to find a little peace of mind.

I gave you my heart, I gave you my trust,

held us together when everything rushed.

Stayed by your side when nobody would,

loved you the best way I knew that I could.

But somewhere along the way,

you turned love into a battlefield.

And no matter how hard I tried,

some wounds refused to heal.

Forget everything I ever told you,

forget every promise we held onto.

‘Cause if what we had was really true,

you wouldn’t do the things you do.

Now I’m learning how to let go,

watching your shadow fade like smoke.

And though it hurts, I finally know,

some hearts break so they can grow.

You made anger your first resort,

turned every problem into a war.

If I could go back and change the course,

I’d leave you behind at the starting point.

Nothing in life is written in stone,

but you still shattered what we called home.

Piece by piece, you tore me apart,

left your fingerprints all over my scars.

Your narcissistic tendencies,

always trying to get the best of me.

But what really made you lose control,

was seeing that you couldn’t break my soul.

And that’s the moment I understood,

love shouldn’t hurt the way this did.

So I walked away from what we were,

and became stronger than I’ve ever been.

Forget everything I ever told you,

forget every dream we were holding to.

‘Cause if what we had was really true,

you wouldn’t do the things you do.

Now I’m learning how to let go,

watching your shadow fade like smoke.

And though it hurts, I finally know,

some hearts break so they can grow.

You tried to dim my light,

you tried to steal my shine.

You tried to make me doubt myself,

but I survived every night.

You tried to stop my dreams,

but look at me now.

Everything you tried to destroy

is what makes me stronger somehow.

Forget everything I ever told you,

forget the version of me that loved you.

I’m not the same, I’ve made it through,

and there’s nothing left for me to prove.

Now I’m walking toward the sun,

leaving behind what you’ve become.

And for the first time in so long,

I’m finally writing my own song.

Forget everything I ever said…

I wanna be a book you never read.

Close the cover, turn the page,

I’m leaving you in yesterday.
