Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me Lyrics

Lewis Capaldi Lyrics

"Forget Me"

Days ache and nights are long
Two years and still, you're not gone
Guess I'm still holding on
Drag my name through the dirt
Somehow it doesn't hurt though
Guess you're still holding on
You told your friends you want me dead
And said that I did everything wrong
And you're not wrong

Well, I'll take all the vitriol
But not the thought of you moving on

'Cause I'm not ready
To find out you know how to forget me
I'd rather hear how much you regret me
And pray to God that you never met me
Than forget me
Oh, I hate to know I made you cry
But love to know I cross your mind, babe, oh, I
Even after all, it still wrecks me
To find out you knew how to forget me
Even after all this time

Days ache and nights are grey
My heart is still your place, babe
Guess I still feel the same
Know you can't stand my face
Some scars you can't erase, babe
Guess you still feel the same

Well, I'll take all the vitriol
But not the thought of you moving on

'Cause I'm not ready
To find out you know how to forget me
I'd rather hear how much you regret me
And pray to God that you never met me
Than forget me
Oh, I hate to know I made you cry
But love to know I cross your mind, babe, oh, I
Even after all, it still wrecks me
To find out you knew how to forget me
Even after all this time

I'm not ready to let you forget me, to let you forget me, to let you for—, oh
I'm not ready to let you forget me, to let you forget me, to let you for—, oh (Even after all this time)
I'm not ready to let you forget me, to let you forget me, to let you for—, oh
I'm not ready to let you forget me, to let you forget me, to let you for—, oh

'Cause I'm not ready
To find out you know how to forget me
I'd rather hear how much you regret me
And pray to God that you never met me
Than forget me
Oh, I hate to know I made you cry
But love to know I cross your mind, babe, oh, I
Even after all, it still wrecks me
To find out you knew how to forget me
Even after all this time

"Forget Me" is the first single from Lewis Capaldi's second studio album. The song was premiered on September 9, 2022. He stated about it, "'Forget Me' is a song that's so dear to my heart, and I definitely feel like it's my best tune yet. It's about a break-up I went through where after a year, the only real contact I had with my ex was seeing her 'post-me' life play out on her Instagram. I was at a point where I was feeling pretty miserable, and she seemed like she was moving on and having the best time, thriving, and I hated it. It seemed unfair to me that she appeared happy while I was hurting, and I was fearful she might have forgotten about me completely, so I wrote a song about it."

According to Capaldi's own press release, this single was "a wee bit more upbeat". He explained, "Because after touring the world, I noticed that my lesser known slower tracks were making some of the crowds look like they were about to fall asleep out of sheer boredom. However, this new one is sad AND fast, much like my love making. Not to worry, I've still got plenty of depressing ballads up my sleeve."
