nickwuh - Forget the Story Lyrics




It's midnight, and it's hard to fall asleep
But I can't close my eyes when all I can see
Is what's written on the ceiling

It's my fault we couldn't talk it out
Too scared to write it down
It's not my place to say anything about
What this was and where it's now

'Cause it's gone
And that might be for the better
But I can't help but to wonder
Of every page that I'm not under

With every night I spend failing to forget
Every thought I've had, the you that's in my head
Every word you said, I never can escape
I hid our book away, the story fades
With every moment spent missing our past
It's the night's dead end, and I'm missing you again
I hope I'm on your mind, 'cause you're always in my head
It's not fair to me if you keep nothing but a summary

The year's almost over and I can't keep it in
So tell me, how've you been?
Does it still hurt to see me every now and again?
Well, we're on the same side, then

And I'll be fine as long as you don't fall apart
I won't need support
I've already been in this storm

But just because I'm a memory
Doesn't mean I'll let you erase me
I won't be the only one who dwells
On every word I should've said but could not

With every night I spend failing to forget
Every thought I've had, the you that's in my head
Every word you said, I never can escape
I hid our book away, the story fades
With every moment spent missing our past
It's the night's dead end, and I'm missing you again
I hope I'm on your mind, 'cause you're always in my head
It's not fair to me if you keep nothing but a summary

With every punch I take through my heart, it ends
Every untied thread, 'till you tie me up again
Every line that I was too afraid to send
Don't think about; can't think about you
If in twenty years, we still haven't spoken
I'll tear these pages the same way you did
Either burn or bury the dust and ashes
It's only fair if we both forget the story

Don't you worry about a single thing
I know you won't try to
For once, I'll take the blame
I should've tried too

I'm running out of paper
As you're running through my mind
But you won't let me in this time
Even so, I have nothing left to write

When every night depends on trying to forget
All the broken glass we swallowed to pretend
That our fairy tale could have a happy end
And not a set of open ended questions
Why am I losing sleep over bitter past tense?
When every song I write's about what we had
Should've said it back then, but now instead
It's for the best if we forget the story
