Easy to Forget
Kylie Morgan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a one-hit-wonder;
You were here then gone
Never thought this heartbreak would last this long
I want to throw away the picture frames
Not wonder where you′ve been
Want to find a way to turn the page
Never think of you again, but

You're like a Rolling Stones record on repeat
Can′t get you out of my head
You're like a first sip of Tennessee whiskey
Still burning on my lips
Keep hearing your voice, keep seeing your face
Keep reaching for the ghost lying here in my bed
Wish you were more like a drunken memory:
Easy to forget

I was your one and only 'til I wasn′t anymore
Hell I don′t know what I'm hanging on for
You never knew how to be good to me
And I deserve more than that
Wanna say goodbye, I don′t know why
I still want you back

You're like a Rolling Stones record on repeat
Can′t get you out of my head
You're like a first sip of Tennessee whiskey
Still burning on my lips
Keep hearing your voice, keep seeing your face
Keep reaching for the ghost lying here in my bed
Wish you were more like a drunken memory:
Easy to forget

You′re like the noise of New York City
I dont ever get no sleep
And oh, I've been trying to let go
But you've still got a hold on me.

You′re like a Rolling Stones record on repeat
Can′t get you out of my head
You're like a first sip of Tennessee whiskey
Still burning on my lips
Keep hearing your voice, keep seeing your face
Keep reaching for the ghost lying here in my bed
Wish you were more like a drunken memory:
Easy to forget

Ohh but you ain′t easy to forget
Ohh you ain't easy to forget
