Don't Forget Me. ( Sampson)

Lyrics

Intro

Yeah… (yeah)
I don’t ask for much… (nah)
Just don’t leave me behind… (don’t leave)
Don’t forget me when the lights fade… (for real)

Chorus 1

I just wanna be loved and not forgotten (not forgotten)
Tired of givin’ my heart while my soul keep droppin’ (fallin’)
Every time I get close, people drift away (why?)
Leave me stuck with memories that forever stay (stay forever)
I been fightin’ for love my whole damn life (my whole life)
Tryna keep my heart warm through these cold nights (cold nights)
Tell me why I’m always easy to replace (replace me)
When all I ever wanted was a safe place (safe place)

Verse 1

I gave my loyalty to people who switched sides (switch up)
Still carryin’ scars from the tears I hide (inside)
Always the one checkin’ in when they feel low (I care)
But when I disappear, nobody even know (nobody)
I been feelin’ invisible inside crowded rooms (too deep)
Smilin’ outside while my heart slowly bruise (hurtin’)
Every goodbye hit me harder than before (way harder)
‘Cause I really thought they’d stay for sure (I did)
I remember all them nights I begged for closure (late nights)
Tryna heal wounds that only got colder (cold world)
Maybe I love too deep for this generation (too deep)
‘Cause real feelings nowadays feel outdated (facts)

Chorus 2

I just wanna feel chosen for once (one time)
Not like I’m only loved when I hold someone up (hold ‘em up)
I’m tired of watchin’ everybody move on (move on)
While I’m stuck replayin’ where it went wrong (again)
Every broken promise still echo in my head (echoes)
Every “I love you” feel temporary instead (temporary)
I just want somebody who gon’ stay close (stay close)
And never make me feel forgettable (forget me)

Verse 2

I got abandonment scars nobody can see (hidden)
That’s why I panic when love move differently (too fast)
Soon as energy change, my chest get tight (tight chest)
Thinkin’ maybe I’m bout to lose another light (another one)
I hate how easy people leave nowadays (walk away)
Like memories don’t mean nothin’ after all them days (damn)
Meanwhile I remember every little thing (everything)
Every laugh, every touch, every song they sang (all of it)
I wish somebody loved me how I love them back (same way)
With consistency and effort, not attached to lack (real love)
‘Cause I’m tired of feelin’ temporary in lives (temporary)
When I treated them like they was permanent ties (for life)

Chorus 3

Please don’t forget me when I’m not around (don’t forget)
Don’t let my love get buried underground (too deep)
I gave pieces of my soul to everybody I cared for (all of ‘em)
Now I barely recognize myself anymore (who am I?)
I just wanna hear somebody say they need me too (need me too)
Not only when they broken and confused (only then)
Tell me why love gotta hurt this way? (why?)
Why everybody eventually fade away? (fade away)

Verse 3

Late nights got me scrollin’ through old texts (again)
Readin’ conversations full of false affection (fake love)
Funny how forever got an expiration date (too quick)
Now I’m sittin’ here alone with this weight (heavy)
I gave people my all when I was empty myself (I did)
Sacrificed my peace just to help somebody else (too much)
But nobody ever noticed when I started breakin’ (fall apart)
I just kept silent while my soul kept achin’ (silent pain)
Maybe that’s the curse of bein’ genuine now (real one)
People love your heart but don’t know how to hold it down (facts)
Still I pray someday somebody stay true (one day)
And love me enough not to forget me too (don’t forget)

Chorus 4

I just wanna be loved and remembered (remember me)
Not another lost soul people fade from in December (cold nights)
I wanna matter even after hard times hit (hard times)
Not be abandoned every time life get thick (too heavy)
Maybe one day somebody gon’ hold me close (hold me close)
And never make me question what I mean to ‘em most (for real)
Till then I’ll keep searchin’ through the pain above (through the pain)
Just wantin’ real love… and not to be forgotten (don’t forget me)

Verse 4 – Outro

So if I ever love you, know I mean every word (every word)
‘Cause my heart too fragile for temporary love to hurt (too fragile)
I ain’t perfect, but my loyalty real (real love)
And every scar I carry came from how I feel (deep feelings)
I just want somebody who stay when I’m low (stay here)
Someone who won’t disappear when life move slow (don’t leave)
Someone who remember my soul when I’m gone (remember me)
And still keep my name alive in they songs (forever)
‘Cause all I ever wanted wasn’t money or fame (never that)
Just somebody who truly care when they say my name (say my name)
And if love real, don’t let it fade away… (don’t fade)
Please don’t forget me… (don’t forget me)
