Happy Tuesday, 50/90ers! I wanted to write a response song to OneRepublic's "Forgot About You." Much of this song is bits and pieces from my real life.
Lyrics
If you must know, I’ve forgotten all about you
Tearing down the doors in my heart that you walked through
All my friends agree with me that seven months of therapy
And dyeing my hair blue
Did the trick to help me quit that quid pro quo relationship
And move on from you
But I
Still have dreams that I’m back in your apartment
Before the fights started, before it fell apart with both of us in it
I can give the runaround, but once the sun starts going down, it’s all over for me
‘Cause I still have dreams
That make me wonder if I was wrong to leave
If you must know, I deleted all our photos
Threw away the roses you gave me at my first show
I did what as responsible, I had to call an audible without you in my ear
The the bull out from the China shop ‘cause otherwise he’ll never stop
Until the water runs clear
And I
Still have dreams that I’m back in your apartment
Before the fights started, before it fell apart with both of us in it
I can give the runaround, but once the sun starts going down, it’s all over for me
‘Cause I still have dreams
That make me wonder if I was wrong
To leave you in the dead of night
Leave the ring on the bedside table
You always said we’ be alright
But I, I was so unstable
And all my friends agree with me that leaving was the only thing that I could’ve done
But I
Still have dreams that I’m back in your apartment
Before the fights started, before it fell apart with both of us in it
I can give the runaround, but once the sun starts going down, it’s all over for me
'Cause I still have dreams
I still have dreams
That make me wonder if I was wrong
To leave

Lyrically, I think my favorite detail was about the roses. That really connected with me.
Just a fantastic song!
