Forget You
Years feat. PRYVT RYN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's nothing behind your eyes
You're so far away
You're so far away
If I try to run, start the car
You come breaking into my heart
I can't get away
I can't afford another bitter night
I don't believe you when you say you'll try
And it's gonna hurt but maybe I don't mind
Guess I could stay a while and take my time to forget you
I'll take my time to forget you
I'm chasing the high
Make me come back a million times
But you're still the same
And you'll never change
Don't you tell me it's enough
Use your touch to make up for love
It's a twisted game
It's a twisted game
I can't afford another bitter night
I don't believe you when you say you'll try
And it's gonna hurt but maybe I don't mind
Guess I could stay a while and take my time to forget you
I'll take my time to forget you
I'll take my time to forget you
I'll take my time to forget you
Take my time to forget you
I'll take my time to forget you
The lyrics of "Forget You" by Years feat. PRYVT RYN is a bittersweet love song about trying to move on from a past relationship. The singer is feeling conflicted about their feelings towards their ex-lover. While their face is physically close, there is no emotional connection left. The chorus expresses the struggles of trying to forget someone and move on, but ultimately realizing that it will take time to heal.
The pre-chorus shows the singer's frustration with their ex-lover's promises to change but feeling like it's too little too late. They are tired of the "twisted game" and cannot afford to have another "bitter night". The chorus repeats the sentiment of taking time to forget and move on.
The bridge reveals the singer's weaknesses in trying to move on as they admit that they are "chasing the high" and keep coming back despite the toxicity of the relationship. In the end, the singer knows that it will take time to forget, but they are willing to take their time and heal.
