Forget Everything I Said

Hold down the Fort and Throw out the Dish Water.
I can’t say anything that will undo the damage done here
You have your broken arrows lined up like ducks in a row
You think you have everything you already need to know
So just forget it all, let it all go, and I’ll just wave you on out the door
Forget everything I said about trust, let it turn into dust
No one loves harder than me, but that’s not enough
So, just walk into the sunset and forget everything I said about love, you don’t need it anymore

I can see you getting smaller in the distance and it’s so clear
This was never going to work you are too stubborn to hear me through everyone else’s opinions
We were never in this alone there were too many voices to get through to you
But I had always hoped your heart would only let my voice ring true
So just forget it all, let it all go, and I’ll just sit here watching you leave
Forget everything I said about faith, I can’t keep it alive by myself
No one loved you better than me, but that’s not enough
So, just take all your stuff that I bought you and forget everything I said about forever after, it never was what you were after

My heart has another name carved into it, bleeding and sore, the scar not yet formed
I had dared to dream this was my last love to endure, but it’s not to be with you
Now as I see you are gone, I sit and sing this song over and over like a Hymnal to God, praying it will somehow bring you back to me
But I have to forget everything I said to you, all the I love you’s, all the I need you’s, all the laughter, all the tear’s weren’t enough to overcome your fears.
It’s time to begin to forget. So I tell myself just forget it all, let it all go, and I will sit here and breathe once more.
