[Intro]
You don't have to hold on anymore...
It's okay to let it go...
[Hook]
Just forget me
(Forget me)
Scrub my name from the back of your mind
Just forget me
(Forget me)
I'm the ghost you don't have to fight this time
I don't want your love, I don't want your hate
Just forget me... before it's too late
[Verse 1]
Left my shadow on your bedroom wall in permanent marker
Watched the paint peel when the landlord made it darker
Carved my initials in the bark of your favorite tree
Storm came through and the whole branch fell free
I was the song that used to play when your phone hit the floor
Now it's just silence every time you walk through the door
The missed call at 3AM that you let ring out
The name in your contacts that you finally blocked out
I was the fever that broke when the medicine kicked in
Now I'm just the side effect you learned how to live with
[Hook]
Just forget me
(Forget me)
Scrub my name from the back of your mind
Just forget me
(Forget me)
I'm the ghost you don't have to fight this time
I don't want your love, I don't want your hate
Just forget me... before it's too late
[Verse 2]
You found somebody new who don't flinch when it gets dark
I stayed in the same room where we tore it all apart
You laugh different now, like the jokes don't cut as deep
I still hear your voice in the silence when I can't sleep
Tore up all the pictures, left the empty frames on the shelf
Glass still reflects but it don't show nobody else
I'm okay with being the lesson that you had to learn twice
The chapter in your story that you finally revised
So when you tell it to your friends, make sure you skip my name
I'm content with being forgotten in the frame
[Bridge]
And if the memory creeps in when the high starts to fade
When the pills don't work and the silence feels safe
Just know I set the fire so you could walk through the smoke
I wanted you to forget me... that was the only hope
I was never built to stay, I was built to be erased
So let me disappear without leaving a trace
[Hook]
Just forget me
(Forget me)
Scrub my name from the back of your mind
Just forget me
(Forget me)
I'm the ghost you don't have to fight this time
I don't want your love, I don't want your hate
Just forget me... before it's too late
[Outro]
Forget me...
Just forget me...
(You can let go now...)
Forget me...
