Don't Remember
Kristina Train Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time to sleep
Time to wake
Wish I could
Can you forgive me?
There's no time
Like the past,
And then I ask
Why I don't even want to live.
They tried to kill me, got you instead
And I'm already dead.

Chorus:
Don't remember, it breaks your heart forever
All I can hear is "Sorry, you're on your own"
All this running, I kill myself for nothing
All I can hear is: "Sorry, you're on your own".

All I want
All I need
Is some release
From your shadow.
I'd be satisfied
With so much less
Than you have guessed

So don't feel sorry for me now.
No one ever did before, I lost that war.

Chorus:
Don't remember, it breaks your heart forever
All I can hear is "Sorry, you're on your own"
All this running, I kill myself for nothing
All I can hear is: "Sorry, you're on your own".

Bridge:
And I'll forget you, like I said I would.
I know you're just another case
I'll have the world but I won't see your face.

Chorus:
Don't remember, it breaks your heart forever
All I can hear is "sorry, you're on your own"
All this running, I kill myself for nothing
All I can hear is:
"Sorry, you're on your own,




You're on your own,
You're on your own".
