The Killers – Forget About What I Said Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is about Brandon and his wife and how their relationship was strained while he was away touring and partying while she was left behind.

We used to tear it down
But now we just exist.
The things that I did wrong,
I bet you got a list.
Now I know how you remember
And those moments that you choose
Will define me as a traitor
Stealing everything you lose.
this is describing how they used to have fun together but now it seems that its just him thats having fun making him a traitor as he said she wouldnt get left behind but she did.

Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
This is Brandon apoligizing to hear saying that he is giving up his partying lifestyle to be with her cause he grown up now and realizes it was wrong.

Stay up late tonight
And turn off your phone.
Well you were selfish too
But you were never all alone.
In those ugly pink apartments with the hustlers and the kids
Mapping out some retribution
Do we have to go through this?
This is him on the phone to her while on tour and they are having an argument about how long he will be away he is saying she has made mistakes too and its not easy for him being all alone and away from her and having to stay is rundown apartments while trying to make it in music.

All of the stars are wandering round tonight
We used to try them on (sometimes I hear you)
And sometimes I hear you
The galaxy sings your song
And tonight I sing along
This is him at a concert he is under the stars and all he can hear is her voice as the crowd sing back at him and tonight he is singing his songs for her so that they can have a better life.
