Forgive, Not Forget.

I had everything I wanted, right in my hands

But then I wanted more, and ended up with less

And you just let it slip away, slide on right by

Now there’s no way to get it back again

I still think about you every night

Wondering if I even cross your mind?

I know I’m not perfect, but neither are you

In the end, the silence speaks the truth

And you, you act like I don’t exist

Like what we had never happened

Like it doesn’t hurt you at all

Was I the only one to fall?

I had everything I wanted, right then and there

Sitting on the rooftop and counting the stars

We shared our dreams, in whispers and smiles

And no one knows how fragile those are

I still think about you every night

Wondering If I even cross your mind?

I know that it’s over and I should move on

But what we had can’t just be gone

And you, you act like I don’t exist

Like a whole year never happened

Can you even feel at all?

I can’t have been the only one to...

See the way you looked at me

From across the room, so intently

If you want to rewrite

The past you’ve denied

Forgive me, but, I’ll keep my memories

And you, you never saw my scars

The ones carved around my heart

Whispered dreams in the dark

I was not the only one to fall.

And you, you can act like I don’t exist

Like what we had never happened

But I know the truth, after all:

I was not the only one to fall.
