You Forget Lyrics

Give to you
Only so you'll believe
And my desire
I'm dead without
Your rush and pull

Hard to forget
It numbs the soul
I need to know

Relishes fear
That you wear so well
It leaves me colder

Hating this thing
I always see
I'm always saying something
I always said
It's not the end of something
I'll stand alone
I never meant to hurt you
I always do
It makes no sense

But you forget
This time it's clear
To you I'm here but

Your love's the same and
Intent aside
We're night and day

Still you forget
How it numbs the soul
I need to know

Only with you that
I keep myself from all I know
Hating this thing
I always see
I'm always saying something
I always said
It's not the end of something
I'll stand alone
I never meant to hurt you
I always do
It makes no sense
What I do

I never mean
Je sais je sais
Je sais je sais

I always see
I'm always saying something
I always said
It's not the end
I understand
What I did
I never meant to hurt you
I always do
It makes no sense what I do

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is about 2 people who knew each other for a long time. but once the long distance relationship started it crash and burned because it consumed them both. they both try to numb themselves from the memories and move on; you know, draw the line somewhere. the reassurance other things to come doesn't cut it anymore and they both, as much as they try, may never forget what happened. i always imagine the season in between fall and winter at a desolate park. Umm.. yeah so there, i zoned out there for awhile. YEY FOR THE FIRST POST!!!! Kudos to me.

i think this song talks about how this girl keeps hurting her boyfriend but doesn't know why at the same time and is torn up because of it.
