Amnesia
Tay Watts feat. Corey Gray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt, the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all
No, I'm really not fine at all




Tell me this is just a dream
'Cause I'm really not fine at all

Overall Meaning

The chorus features the repeated line, "I wish that I could wake up with amnesia," expressing the desire to forget and move on from the memories and emotions that are still holding them back.


The second verse describes the pictures of the past relationship that the singer still has on their phone and the way their absence is noticed by friends who are asking why they are no longer around. The singer acknowledges that it's hard to hear the other person's name when they haven't seen them in so long, and questions whether the relationship was a lie or if what they shared was real. The bridge of the song offers a hypothetical scenario in which they wake up with the other person beside them, holding them closer and never letting them go.


Overall, the lyrics of Amnesia depict the struggle to move on from a past relationship and the longing to forget the memories that are still haunting the singer. The emotional delivery of the song is supported by a powerful yet simple melody that captures the heartache and sorrow of lost love.

Recalling the moment you told me the news of your departure.


I remember the make-up running down your face

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And the memories I never can escape
All the memories that leave me with feelings of longing and emptiness, no matter where I go.


'Cause I'm not fine at all
At the end of the day, I know that I'm not okay and that time may be the only true remedy.


No, I'm really not fine at all
No - I am far from being fine or okay.


Tell me this is just a dream
Sometimes, I pray that this is all just a terrible nightmare from which I'll soon wake up.


'Cause I'm really not fine at all
However, deep down, I know that my sorrow and heartbreak are very much reality.
