Keep Forgetting (To Forget About You)

V5.5

[Intro] [syncopated drum machine, muted electric guitar, synth bass] (Na-na-na-na-na-na) (Hey) [Verse 1] [male lead vocals] Thinking back when we got together And in our hearts it was stay forever So in love, boy we were so in love (mmm) Jealous was only one of the problems We looked in my eyes I should have spoke up and held you near But now I'm alone in here, it comes again [Chorus] [vocal harmonies, driving beat] 'Cause I remember every word that you said It all just keeps spinning around in my head But it don't matter what I try to do I keep on forgetting to forget about you And I don't want to think about you this much All the things we did and the way that we touched Just when I think about someone new I keep on forgetting to forget about you (Forget about you, forget about, turn around) I'm forgetting to forget about you (Forget about me, hey you) [Verse 2] [bass drops to sustained notes] Now I'd be crazy to say that we were perfect And sometimes I wonder if it was worth it But now I see how good you were for me And every time I drive by your apartment I get this overwhelming urge to walk in and see your face And be in that place all over again [Chorus] [full arrangement] 'Cause I remember every word that you said It all just keeps spinning around in my head But it don't matter what I try to do I keep on forgetting to forget about you And I don't want to think about you this much All the things we did and the way that we touched Just when I think about someone new I keep on forgetting to forget about you (Forget about you, forget about, turn around) I'm forgetting to forget about you (Forget about me, hey you) [Bridge] [guitar becomes more prominent, synth pads swell] The way we laughed, the way we kissed I never thought that I would miss All the things I used to complain about you The football games, the hometown friends I'd be glad to see them all again But tell me why I feel so lost without you (Oh, yeah, here it comes again) [Chorus] [high energy, vocal ad-libs] 'Cause I remember every word that you said It all just keeps spinning around in my head But it don't matter what I try to do I keep on forgetting to forget about you And I don't want to think about you this much All the things we did and the way that we touched Just when I think about someone new I keep on forgetting to forget about you 'Cause I remember every word that you said It all just keeps spinning around in my head But it don't matter what I try to do I keep on forgetting to forget about you (Forget about you, forget about, turn around) I'm forgetting to forget about you (Forget about me, oh yeah, forget about you) [Outro] [drums fade, electric guitar arpeggio, synth pads fade out]
