Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
'Bout me

Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget

We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

At all

And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
Please don't forget about us

But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us
Don't forget

    i think it's obvious what it's about, what i think i'm noticing though, is the 5 stages of grief...

    Denial: "you can't forget it" at the beginning it's like she's can't believe he doesn't care.

    Bargaining: "we were once so strong, our love it like a song." it's as though she's trying to explain why he can't leave her.

    Depression: "we had it all, we were just about to fall even more in love" everything they were is gone, who they were as "us" is dead.

    Anger: the song guitar comes in and suddenly she's telling him, "you can't forget it AT ALL" she won't allow it

    Acceptance: "and at last, all the picture have been burned, and all the past is just a lesson that we've learned" she understands, it's really over "you won't sing along..."

    now she's left, to forget him.

    maybe i'm forcing it, but i think it's beautiful how they're incorporated, it makes the song more effectual.

    great voice. excellent song. you can see why it's the title track.

    At first, I didn't really like this song, but now, I'm addicted to it.

    It's just a song about feeling broken.

    This is one of my favorite songs on her album along with Get Back, On the Line, Two Worlds Collide, and Trainwreck. Everone can relater to this song whether or not you are a girl or a boy. She is the best lyricist that Disney has got right now in my opinion.

    I'm not a fan of Demi Lovato, but she is cute as hell and this song is really good. Her voice sounds wonderful. <3

    My friend kept urging me to listen to this song, and at first I was like "No way, I don't really listen to Demi," but then I finally listened to it at her house and I cried, which made her cry too, so I can say that my first time listening to this song, I has a cry-fest.

    It's a really beautiful song and it holds alot of meaning to anyone that relates to it.

    I love this song sooo much!

    her best song. hands down.

    and to hear her sing it live. is heartbreaking. hopefully she doesn't loose that emotion after performing it too many times.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
