Forgot to Love You
Love Lost in the City: Unraveling the Emotions of 'Forgot to Love You'
Lyrics
I was in my head while you were making memories
I was preoccupied with my thoughts while you were creating memories.
Shot you down while you were making plans
I rejected your plans while you were making them.
Kissed you goodbye knowing I wouldn’t come back
I said goodbye, fully aware that I wouldn't return.
Already one foot out the door
I was already mentally preparing to leave.
I wasn’t ready for the weight of someone else
I wasn't prepared for the emotional burden of being with someone.
Wasn’t aware until you loved me (loved me)
I only realized the depth of your love when you expressed it.
Scared of losing out on reckless twenties I left you to sleep with my ghost
Fearful of missing out on carefree moments in my twenties, I left you to be with my past self.
While I’m waking up in New York
I wake up in New York.
Don’t know her name
I don't know the name of the person I'm with.
Making up a reason
Creating a false justification for my actions.
I couldn’t stay
I couldn't stay with you.
Without you here to lean on
Feeling lost without your support.
Thought it’d be great
Thought it would be great without you.
That’s my mistake
Realizing my mistake.
I forgot to love you
I forgot to love you.
Forgot to love, forgot to love
I neglected to love, neglected to love.
Forgot to love you
I forgot to love you.
I forgot to love you
-Second guessing became second nature Fell back to doubting what I thought I wanted
Constantly doubting and second-guessing became natural.
Gave me a chance to take it all back
Given a chance to undo my actions.
Unpack the damage I did in the dark
Reflecting on the harm I caused in the secrecy of my actions.
While I’m waking up in New York
I wake up in New York again.
Don’t know her name
Unaware of the name of my current partner.
Making up a reason
Creating false justifications once more.
I couldn’t stay
I couldn't stay committed.
Without you here to lean on
Feeling lost without your support.
Thought it’d be great
Thought it would be great without you.
That’s my mistake
Realizing my mistake again.
I forgot to love you
I forgot to love you.
Forgot to love, forgot to love
I neglected to love, neglected to love.
Forgot to love you
I forgot to love you.
I’m so done pretending that it’s enough To give you half of my love
I'm done pretending that giving you half of my love is sufficient.
And tell you it’s all I’ve got
Admitting that I have more to give than I've been sharing.
I’ve never wish anything more than this
I've never wished for anything more than feeling the same when we kiss.
To feel the same when we kiss
Wanting a genuine connection in our kisses.
But baby I can’t fake it
But I can't fake it.
Waking up in New York
Waking up in New York.
Making up a reason
Creating false justifications again.
Without you here to lean on,
Feeling lost without your support.
Thought it’d be great
Thought it would be great without you.
That’s my mistake
Realizing my mistake once more.
I forgot to love you
I forgot to love you.
Forgot to love, forgot to love
I neglected to love, neglected to love.
Forgot to love you
I forgot to love you.
I forgot to love you
-Forgot to love, forgot to love
I neglected to love, neglected to love.
Forgot to love you
I forgot to love you.
I forgot to love you
