Trying To Forget
Homesafe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lie enough to try to convince me of your plans
All these people asking questions of why all the sudden distance
And I can't find enough words to spit into your face to suffice all my dues

Is it so hard to just take me as I am?
Why is it a contest of who shall take your hand?
I deserve to abandon this toxicness
But you still intoxicate me
Hastily trying to forget

I want to know what you think inside that head
Since the days you lost your relevance
And traded it instead
For new friends and trends that you wanted so bad
But you got what you were looking for
So now say that you're glad

Is it so hard to just take me as I am?
Why is it a contest of who shall take your hand?
I deserve to abandon this toxicness
But you still intoxicate me
Hastily trying to-

Forget all the times
Running to confide in him
It doesn't make a difference
Because I know what I did
Forget all the times
Running to confide in him
It never made a difference
Because I know what I did

Forget all the times
Running to confide in him
Forget all those times
It never made a difference

Is it so hard to just take me as I am?
Why is it a contest of who shall take your hand?
I deserve to abandon this toxicness
But you still intoxicate me
Hastily trying to forget

Is it so hard to just take me as I am?
Always a contest of who shall take your hand
I deserve to abandon this toxicness




But you're so intoxicating
Making this harder to forget.

Overall Meaning

The song "Trying To Forget" is a heart-wrenching plea from the singer to their significant other to accept them for who they are, without the constant competition and toxicity in their relationship. The first verse expresses the frustration of being lied to repeatedly, with the other person always trying to convince the singer of their plans. The singer is unable to find the right words to confront the person about their behavior, which has created distance between them and others in their lives.


The chorus repeats the plea for acceptance and the desire to escape from the toxicity of the relationship, but the other person still has a hold on the singer. The second verse delves deeper into the relationship dynamics, with the singer questioning their partner's motives and wondering if they are truly happy with their new friends and trends. The bridge then shifts focus to the singer running to someone else for comfort and confiding in them, but ultimately realizing that it didn't make a difference because they know what they did.


The final chorus repeats the earlier plea for acceptance, but this time with a sense of resignation that the odds are stacked against them. The other person is described as intoxicating, making it harder for the singer to forget the relationship and move on.

Lie enough to try to convince me of your plans

All these people asking questions of why all the sudden distance
People are starting to wonder why we're growing apart so quickly


And I can't find enough words to spit into your face to suffice all my dues
I'm so angry at you that I can't find enough words to express all the things you owe me


Is it so hard to just take me as I am?
Why can't you accept me for who I am?


Why is it a contest of who shall take your hand?

I deserve to abandon this toxicness
I deserve to leave this toxic relationship behind


But you still intoxicate me
But I'm still drawn to you despite the toxicity


Hastily trying to forget
I'm desperately trying to forget everything that's happened


I want to know what you think inside that head
I want to know what you're really thinking, deep down


Since the days you lost your relevance
Since the days when you stopped being important to me


And traded it instead
And replaced it with something else


For new friends and trends that you wanted so bad
For new friends and trends that you were desperate to have


But you got what you were looking for
But you got what you wanted in the end


So now say that you're glad
So now tell me that you're happy


Forget all the times
I want to forget all the times


Running to confide in him
When I went to him to confide in him


It doesn't make a difference
It didn't change anything


Because I know what I did
Because I know what I did wrong


Always a contest of who shall take your hand
You always turn relationships into a competition, no matter who it is


But you're so intoxicating
But I can't help but be drawn to you


Making this harder to forget.
Which is making it harder for me to forget everything that's happened.
