Please Don't Forget About Me
Ruff Endz Lyrics

I know I made mistakes before
Acknowledges that the singer has made mistakes in the past

But girl I never lied, still I apologize
Despite the mistakes, the singer did not lie and apologizes for their actions

And I know sometimes I made you cry
Admits that the singer's actions have caused the listener emotional pain

But now I realize, I need you by my side
The artist recognizes that they need the listener in their life

When it comes to you, I swallow my pride
The artist is willing to put aside their pride for the listener

'cause you're the reason why I feel so alive
Establishes that the listener is the source of the singer's happiness

Girl please tell me you'll still be my lady
The singer asks the listener to remain in a romantic relationship

Without your love in my life, I'll go crazy
Indicates that the artist would be deeply affected if the listener were to leave them

All my life I've been searching for A love so true
The artist has been looking for a genuine, authentic relationship their whole life

We've been, been together So girl, everything I have is yours
The artist has committed to the relationship and is willing to share everything with the listener

Please don't forget about me
Asks the listener not to forget the singer, implying that the relationship is important to them

I know I shoulda thought about the things I did before I did 'em
Regrets not considering the potential consequences of their actions

If I could stop your tears...
The singer wishes they could undo the hurt they've caused the listener

Oh girl, I can't see a way to stop the pain that you're feelin'
Expresses the singer's perceived helplessness in fixing the emotional pain they've caused

If I could make it right, God knows I will
The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make things right

Please give me a chance to make things right, once again
Asks the listener to give the artist another opportunity to fix their mistakes

Before we fell in love, remember we were friends So don't let it end
Reminds the listener that the foundation of their romantic relationship was a friendship, and encourages them to try to work things out
