SHOULD’VE FORGOT YOU

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah I don’t hate you That’s the problem Still got your name in my phone like it means somethin’ Still know your number by heart, I don’t need nothin’ Still see your face when the whole room goes dark Funny how you broke mine and still got my heart [Verse 1] I gave you loyalty, you gave me lessons I gave you honesty, you gave me questions Now every time somebody say they love me I hear your voice and second-guess the sentence I been movin’ different, I don’t trust intentions Read between the lines in every conversation You taught me people say forever in a moment Then wake up in the morning like they never meant it And I ain’t gonna lie, yeah, I got resentment ‘Cause you knew every scar and where I kept ‘em hidden You knew what it’d do to me and did it anyway That’s the part I can’t forgive, but still forgive it That’s sick, right? Still would’ve picked up if you called last night Still would’ve drove through the rain, red lights Just to hear you say my name one last time [Pre-Hook] I should’ve killed every memory Should’ve let your ghost leave But every time I bury you You come back underneath [Hook] I should’ve forgot you by now Should’ve got you out my blood somehow Shouldn’t still want you around After everything you did when I was down I should’ve forgot you by now But your name still hit when the lights go out I can hate what you did, hate what we became But I can’t make my heart hate you the same [Verse 2] Look— I don’t need closure, I know what happened You chose what you wanted, I saw your actions Don’t tell me you loved me, love don’t move like that Don’t stab me in the back then ask why I’m guarded Now I’m colder with it Heart got a lock, ain’t no code to get it New girl could be perfect, I still hold a distance ’Cause you made “I love you” sound so convincing That’s what gets me Not that you left, it’s the way you left me Had me defending your name while you wrecked me I would’ve fought the whole world if they came against you Whole time the one I needed saving from was with me Damn. And maybe that’s why I can’t let it die ’Cause part of me still sees the you from another time Before every promise turned into another lie Before I had to learn how to love you from the other side [Bridge — half sung] If I could hate you God knows I’d try If I could erase you You’d be gone tonight But love don’t listen And hearts don’t learn You can put out the flame Still feel where it burned [Final Hook] I should’ve forgot you by now Should’ve got you out my blood somehow Shouldn’t still want you around After everything you did when I was down I should’ve forgot you by now But your name still hit when the lights go out I can hate what you did, hate what we became But I can’t make my heart hate you the same [Outro] So I don’t hate you I hate that I can’t After all that you did After all that I am I don’t want you back I just want back The part of me That still wants you.
