Couldn't Say Goodbye · KINAKO

Don't Forget Me

04:38

Forget me
Forget me
Tell me you won’t
Tell me you won’t

I kept your birthday in my head
Like a password I should’ve reset
I knew the color of your eyes
But not the day you said goodbye

I watched the seasons change their clothes
While every part of me stayed close
You moved ahead, I stayed behind
Collecting proof you once were mine

I know it sounds pathetic
I know

Don’t forget me
Don’t forget me
Even if you don’t want me

Don’t forget me
Don’t forget me
Just remember that you knew me

Da-da, da-da
You knew me
Da-da, da-da
You knew me

I started wondering what you say
When someone asks about those days
Do you call it love?
A phase?
A stupid little teenage mistake?

Maybe you changed the story
Maybe I’m not in it anymore
Maybe you tell them I was crazy
Because that makes leaving easier

Maybe you’re right

I was scared you would forget me
So I made myself impossible to erase
I left my fingerprints on every memory
Just to keep a little piece of your space

I was scared you would forget me
More than I was scared you’d leave
Because leaving means you’re somewhere
Forgetting means I never existed

Forget me
Forget me
Forget me

Please don’t

Forget me
Forget me
Forget me

I saw your picture yesterday
You looked happy in that careless way
And I hated you for looking fine
Then hated myself for checking twice

I almost sent a message
Just to see if you’d reply
Then I remembered your new life
And swallowed every lie

You’re not coming back

I know

Maybe I don’t need you
Maybe I need the evidence
That I mattered

Maybe I don’t miss your hands
Maybe I miss being held
Inside somebody’s future

Ha...
What a beautiful little disaster

Don’t forget me
Don’t forget me
Even if you don’t want me

Don’t forget me
Don’t forget me
You can hate me
Just remember me

I was scared you would forget me
I was scared you would forget me

I was scared you would wake up
And feel nothing when you say my name

I was scared you would forget me
So I kept hurting myself with memories

I was scared you would forget me
And maybe you already did

Forget me
Forget me
Tell me you won’t
Just don’t make me disappear

Forget me
Forget me
Forget me
