Forget Forever
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told, I told, I told myself again
I'm never running back on what I said
Trying not to run but you're so far away
So far away
Won't listen to the conscience in my head
I'm conscious but I'm lonely, halfway dead
Tired of the thing you never, you never said
You never said

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world
Our love was made to rule the world
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name

I know, I know, I know we can't pretend
That we were never lovers in the end
I try to tell myself that this pain would go away
Just go away

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world
Our love was made to rule the world
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name




Forget forever
Forget forever

Line by Line Meaning

I told, I told, I told myself again
I've reminded myself repeatedly


I'm never running back on what I said
I won't go back on my word


Trying not to run but you're so far away
I don't want to distance myself, but you're unreachable


So far away
You're distant


Won't listen to the conscience in my head
Ignoring my inner voice


I'm conscious but I'm lonely, halfway dead
I'm aware of my thoughts, but I feel alone


Tired of the thing you never, you never said
I'm weary of what you never expressed


You never said
You never vocalized it


Our love was made to rule the world
Our love was destined to conquer all


You came and broke the perfect girl
You ruined the ideal version of myself


You left me wanting what we were
You made me crave our past relationship


Forget forever
Erase the memory for good


Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name
Pretend we never met


I know, I know, I know we can't pretend
I realize we can't fake it


That we were never lovers in the end
That we didn't ultimately have a romantic relationship


I try to tell myself that this pain would go away
I attempt to convince myself that the hurt will dissipate


Just go away
Vanish already

Selena Gomez is my huge inspiration. I was obsessed and watched every episode of wizards of waverly place and she was the first and only concert I've ever been to.
