How Could I Forget?

[Intro: damaged tape, granular dust, whispered fragments] How could I... How could I fo- (file error) forget [Chorus: recognizable hook, slightly detuned male vocal, glitch chops] How could I forget? How could I fo- How could I forget about you? How could I forget? How could I forget? How could I forget about you? [Verse: spoken-sung, dry close mic, then increasing stutters] You drop all your Prada on the floor (drop — drop — floor) Get you what you want but you need more Smoke smoke smoke till we can't no more Drink drink drink till the room unspools The memory skips The memory skips The memory will not close [Pre-Chorus: rising granular swell] Spend what's there to spend till nothing's left The way that you move, I lose my breath You said you love me, I stayed obsessed You left me wishing this would never end Now whether I smoke, smoke, smoke Or whether I drink, drink, drink Or whether I spend, spend, spend I cannot forget I cannot delete [Chorus] How could I forget? How could I fo- How could I forget about you? How could I forget? How could I forget? How could I forget about you? [Bridge: almost silence, then broken choir] Girl, who are you? A loop I never closed Girl, who are you? A file that will not load Maybe I was wrong But you were wrong too Baby it's your flaws that I was drawn to How could I forget You [Outro: tape stop, last whispered line] You left me wishing that this thing would never end (end) (end) Cancel
