Forgotten
[ツAvril Lavigne] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah ah, oh oh
Ah ah, oh oh
Ah ah, oh oh
Ah ah, oh oh
I'm giving up on everything
Because you messed me up
Don't know how much you screwed it up
You never listen that's just too bad
Because I'm moving on
I won't forget
You were the one that was wrong
I know I need to step up and be strong
Don't patronize me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
Have you forgotten
Everything that I wanted?
Do you forget it now?
You never got it
Do you get it now?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ah ah oh oh
Ah ah oh oh

Gotta get away
There's no point in thinking about yesterday
It's too late now
It won't ever be the same
We're so different now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus:]

I know I wanna run away
I know I wanna run away
Run away
If only I could run away
If only I could run away
Run away
I told you what I wanted
I told you what I wanted
What I wanted
I was forgotten
I won't be forgotten
Never again!!!





[Chorus: X2]

You've reached a point now where I can't even listen to the original song as something feels off about them. If I didn't know any better, I'd assume your tracks were the original. The presence that they create is otherworldly. Keep doing your thing.
