Lyrics
Forget About Me words & music: Vance Grazio c2020
Marriage left her lonely, acted on her desires
Found herself a lover, balanced on a wire
He fed her flaming passion, he made her howl and scream
She told him that she loved him, the answer to her dreams
One day she mentioned to him, she wished her man were dead
Hed whipped his phone across the room and barely missed her head
Be careful what you wish for, be careful what you do
Soon after that he heard from her that wish had just come true
The peak blew off the top of her mountain
Her ship sank to the bottom of the sea
She said I need to go and seek redemption,
So just, forget about me
Redemption can be fleeting; a new man came along
A throwback from her distant past she loved for so damn long
He promised they would marry, that this was meant to last
The seam that joined them ripped apart, it never came to pass
The peak blew off the top of her mountain
Her ship sank to the bottom of the sea
She said I need to go and seek redemption,
So just, forget about me
Went back to her first lover, one long and lonely night
Armed with empty promises but things were black and white
He knew that every word she said would prove to be just lies
But made her howl and scream once more before they said good-bye
The peaks blew off the tops of their mountains
Their ships met at the bottom of the sea
He heard no further talk about redemption
And said, just forget about me
But you wont, forget about me
