Forget You
Grae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do we remember things better than they were? Know it’s good to forget the bad shit, (but) I’m the worst
Sunshine of the spotless gotta get you outta my mind Right now memory loss would be just fine
CHORUS:
And maybe baby
You can forget me
And I’ll forget you That’s what we gotta do That’s all we gotta...
SECOND VERSE:
How did I make your flaws, all my fault
You gave me these wounds, and I filled them with salt
Damn I wish I had amnesia, I’d heal real quick Damn I wish I didn’t need ya, you make me sick
CHORUS:
And maybe baby
You can forget me
And I’ll forget you That’s what we gotta do That’s all we gotta...
And baby maybe You can forget me And I’ll forget you

CHORUS (short):
And maybe baby You can forget me And I’ll forget you
In Grae's song "Forget You", the lyrics express the struggle of dealing with memories of a past relationship. The first verse poses the question of why we seem to remember things better than they were, while recognizing the need to forget the negative aspects of that past. However, the singer admits that they're not good at forgetting, and wishes they could just erase those memories from their mind. The chorus reveals the solution: both parties need to forget each other and move on. The second verse delves further into the pain caused by the relationship, with the singer blaming themselves for taking on their partner's flaws and feeling hurt by their actions. They express a wish for amnesia to quickly heal their wounds and remove the need for their partner.
The post-chorus emphasizes the idea that the positive memories they experienced with their partner made them overlook the negative aspects, and even hurt themselves in the process (landing on thorns). The second, shorter version of the chorus repeats the desire to forget each other and move on.
The lyrics of "Forget You" delve deep into the emotions of heartbreak and the desire to move on from a past relationship. Although it is a difficult process, the lyrics suggest that forgetting each other is the best way to heal and achieve closure.
