Forgotten
Jamestown Story Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time, when all was perfect, no worries, but now that's blurry
We had something, that no one had, but it's all gone now, ain't that so sad
He came along, took you away, he opened his arms wide, there you stayed
You smiled, and waved goodbye, and for the last time, I looked in your eyes...
Love can fade, can break away, can be forgotten, but not replaced
You might lose hope, you might lose faith, but don't throw it all away, cause your afraid...
Now all I ask, is for him to care, for him to treat you, like I were always there
But please don't love him, come back to me, I'm begging you, I'm on my knees

Please don't forget, all the times we spent, and all the places, we saw and went

You were soo happy, what did I do wrong, was I not good enough, all along...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jamestown Story's song "Forgotten" depict a story of a past relationship that has ended due to the intrusion of a third party. In the beginning, everything was perfect between the two individuals, with no worries or problems to weigh them down. However, as time progressed, their happiness became blurry and unsatisfactory. The relationship was special and unique, with qualities that no other connection had achieved. Sadly, everything disappeared as the arrival of another person led to the eventual loss of love and separation.

In the second stanza, the individual who was left behind expressed a lack of acceptance towards the new development. They were heartbroken that their significant other had chosen to go in a different direction. In this stage of the relationship, there is still a longing to hold on to what was lost, as the feeling of love is something that never fades away. Despite the situation not being favorable, the individual still holds out hope and doesn't want to lose faith in the relationship. The chorus emphasizes the fact that love, even though it can become forgotten and lost, can never be replaced.

Towards the end of the song, the perspective switches to the former partner who was left behind. They express regret over not being good enough and causing the other's departure. The anthem comes to a close as the person begs for another chance, hoping that their significant other will return to them, and they will once again share the same happiness and bliss they had in the beginning.

I almost had this happen to me last summer... My girlfriend fell for another guy and almost left me... I'm so glad she didn't... She's what makes me who I am.. She is my better half.

To be honest all I need is someone who is beautiful who loves me for me and I'd be set. No need to run around and screw around.

i sang this song to my crush, funny how she went with another guy when we had a date.
p.s - don't sing this song to anyone you like, will only get motivated to leave you.
