I've Forgotten Everything
Unveiling Forgotten Love: Phil Collins' Soulful Reflections
Lyrics
'I get along without you very well' (Hoagy Carmichael. 1939)
I can manage without you quite well, drawing inspiration from Hoagy Carmichael's song from 1939.
I've forgotten everything about you
I have completely erased all memories related to you.
'Til someone says your name
I only remember you when someone mentions your name.
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
I can't recall the reasons I once loved you until someone reminds me.
'Til someone tells me that you rang
The memories of why I loved you resurface when informed that you tried to contact me.
The memories are hazy now
My recollections of our time together are now unclear.
I don't recall at all
I have no memory of our past together.
There's nothing, there's nothing there
There is nothing left of our shared experiences.
Just me
I am left alone with myself.
And I don't understand why
I am puzzled about why things turned out this way.
I can't recollect my feelings
I struggle to recall the emotions I once had.
'Til someone mentions that they saw you
Reminders of you emerge when someone talks about seeing you.
I really don't remember all the things you said
I have difficulty remembering the things you said to me.
'Til someone shows me where you live
I only remember where you live when someone points it out.
Why is everything so hazy now
Everything related to you seems unclear and indistinct now.
I don't recall at all
I have no memory of our shared experiences.
There's nothing, there's nothing there
There is nothing left of our past.
Just me
I am left alone with myself.
And I don't understand why
I am puzzled about why things turned out this way.
I can't recall your smile
I can't remember the details of your smile.
The touch of your hand holding mine
The sensation of your hand holding mine is no longer in my recollection.
And I can't remember why
I can't recall why holding you felt right.
Holding you seemed so right
The once apparent correctness of holding you is now a distant memory.
The memories they're hazy now
Memories of our past are now unclear and indistinct.
I don't recall at all
I have no memory of our shared experiences.
There's nothing, there's nothing there
There is nothing left of our past.
Just me
I am left alone with myself.
And I don't understand why
I am puzzled about why things turned out this way.
I've forgotten everything about you
I have erased all memories associated with you.
'Til someone says your name
Your name triggers memories of our past.
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
The reasons I loved you resurface when informed that you tried to contact me.
'Til someone tells me that you rang
I only remember the reasons I loved you when someone informs me that you called.
