Remind Me to Forget
Kygo/Miguel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It never fades away, it's staying
Your kiss like broken glass on my skin
And all the greatest loves end in violence
It's tearing up my voice, left in silence

Baby, it hit so hard, I'm holding on to my chest
Maybe you left your mark, reminding me to forget
It doesn't matter where you are, you can keep my regret
'Cause baby, I got these scars, reminding me to forget
Reminding me, I got these scars, to forget your love
Keep reminding me, ooh, to forget your love

You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark, reminding me to forget
You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark (under my skin)

You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark, reminding me to forget
You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark (under my skin)

There's no room in war for feelings
Hurt me to the core, still healing
And I know you're no good for me
So I try to forget the memories

'Cause baby, it hit so hard, I'm holding on to my chest
Maybe you left your mark, reminding me to forget
It doesn't matter where you are, you can keep my regret
Baby, I got these scars, reminding me to forget

You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark, reminding me to forget
You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark (under my skin)

Remember I told you
To save it, it's over
And I'll be alright
So hurt me as much as you like
I need you to let go
I got these mementos
And I'll be alright, yeah

Baby, it hit so hard, I'm holding on to my chest
Maybe you left your mark, reminding me to forget
It doesn't matter where you are, you can keep my regret
Baby, I got these scars, reminding me to forget

You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark, reminding me to forget




You left your burn (in my heart)
You left your mark, reminding me to forget

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Remind Me to Forget" by Kygo and Miguel delve into the aftermath of a turbulent and destructive relationship. The first verse sets the tone, expressing the enduring impact of the relationship. The line "It never fades away, it's staying" suggests that the memories and emotions associated with this love affair are deeply ingrained and won't easily fade or be forgotten.


The next line, "Your kiss like broken glass on my skin," vividly portrays the painful and damaging nature of the relationship. It suggests that the affection they once shared has now become harmful and dangerous. The following line, "And all the greatest loves end in violence," acknowledges the inherent tumultuousness of intense relationships and implies that this love, too, has become destructive.


The chorus further highlights the lasting effects of the relationship. The line "It hit so hard, I'm holding onto my chest" expresses the physical and emotional impact of the pain suffered. The following lines, "Maybe you left your mark, reminding me to forget / It doesn't matter where you are, you can keep my regret," reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance. The scars left behind, both visible and emotional, act as a reminder to move on and let go of the past.


The second verse intensifies the narrative by using the metaphor of a burn and a mark. These imprints left on the singer's heart and under their skin serve as a constant reminder of the pain inflicted. The repetition of these lines strengthens the idea that the damage done is not easily erased or forgotten.


As the song progresses, the bridge and the subsequent chorus emphasize a struggle to detach from the memories and emotions associated with the toxic relationship. The lyrics acknowledge that while the singer knows this person is not good for them, letting go is a challenging process filled with hurt and healing.


The final chorus reasserts the impact of the relationship, with the scars acting as a constant reminder. The repetition of the lines "You left your burn (in my heart) / You left your mark, reminding me to forget" reinforces the notion that the memories may never fully fade.


Overall, "Remind Me to Forget" navigates the complex emotions of a love that turned toxic, capturing the lingering pain and difficulties in moving forward. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing to let go, but also the recognition that the scars left behind will serve as a reminder of the need to leave the past behind and find healing.

You Are Beautiful.
You Are Wanted.
You Are Wonderful.
Don’t quit on yourself.
Don't hurt yourself.
You are worth the world and nobody wants to see you suffering,
This is not the end.
The way you feel will pass.
Peoples minds will change.
Things will get better,
know your worth dont do something permanent over something temporary.
Be yourself and eventually the right people will come and love the real you.

I love you 💞
