A life forgotten

Lyrics

(Verse 1) I still remember the first time we met, The color of your dress, the words you said. I remember our wedding beneath those lights, The way your hand fit perfectly in mine. I remember every birthday candle, Every anniversary we've ever known. The day our children took their first steps, Every little memory carved in stone. (Pre-Chorus) I've spent a lifetime counting moments, Holding them like treasures in my hands. But sometimes love can feel so lonely, When nobody sees the things you planned. (Chorus) 'Cause I remember every date, every year, every mile, Every card, every flower, every reason for your smile. But my birthday comes and quietly fades away, Like a shadow no one noticed at the end of the day. Father's Day comes and goes like a whisper in the rain, Christmas morning leaves another empty space. I don't need diamonds, I don't need grand displays, Just a sign that I still matter in some small way. And that little silence leaves a hole in my heart. --- (Verse 2) I know life gets busy, I know time moves fast, And nobody means to let the good things pass. But every year I wait with hopeful eyes, For some small reminder that I'm on your mind. A handwritten note, a coffee by the bed, A simple "thank you" for the things I've done. Not for the work or all the sacrifices, Just because I'm still your someone. (Pre-Chorus) And I never speak about the hurt inside me, I tell myself it's not important anyway. But even the strongest hearts grow weary, When they're forgotten year after year. (Chorus) 'Cause I remember every date, every year, every mile, Every card, every flower, every reason for your smile. But my birthday comes and quietly fades away, Like a shadow no one noticed at the end of the day. Father's Day comes and goes like a whisper in the rain, Christmas morning leaves another empty space. I don't need diamonds, I don't need grand displays, Just a sign that I still matter in some small way. And that little silence leaves a hole in my heart. --- (Bridge) I never wanted medals, Never asked to be a king. I only wanted to feel remembered, The way I remember everything. And maybe you don't see it, Maybe you don't know it's there. But every forgotten moment Feels like another empty chair. --- (Final Chorus) I remember every date, every year, every mile, Every dream we built together, every tear, every smile. And I'd still choose you a thousand times again, Even with the ache I've carried deep within. But birthdays shouldn't feel like ordinary days, And Father's Day shouldn't simply drift away. Christmas lights can't warm a heart that's standing in the dark, Wondering if it's still seen after all these years. So I'll keep remembering for both of us, my dear, Holding every memory we've made. But sometimes the man who's always giving Needs to know he's loved the same. And that's the hole inside my heart... The one I never learned to say.
