[Verse 1] Now the house is quiet, your picture’s on the wall, Echoes of your voice still linger in the hall, I gave you all my words, but none of my time, Didn’t see your tears when you needed mine. [Pre-Chorus] I was chasin’ dreams, couldn’t see the truth, All I ever needed was lovin’ you— [Chorus] I forgot to be your lover, Forgot to hold you tight, Now I’m standin’ in the shadows, Wishin’ I could make it right. I forgot to be your lover, Let your heart slip away, Now I’m livin’ with the memory Of the price I had to pay… [Verse 2] I remember nights you waited by the phone, While I told myself you’d be alright alone, All the little things I never did, Now they’re the reasons I’m losin’ it— [Pre-Chorus] If I had one chance, I’d change my ways, Give you all my nights and all my days— [Chorus] I forgot to be your lover, Forgot to understand, Now I’m reachin’ out for nothin’, Just a ghost of what we had. I forgot to be your lover, Didn’t treat you right, Now I’m wide awake and broken Every single night… [Bridge] If you ever hear this song somehow, Just know I’d do it different now, Every word I never said, Still plays inside my head— [Outro] I forgot to be your lover… And I won’t forget again…
