Forget Forever
Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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

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. You may not think that she is good but that's your opinion. In my opinion, she is a magical and inspirational pop star with huge talent. Thank you
