Playlist for When We Forget

[Verse 1] I kept your notes in a glass-top drawer Next to receipts from a life we wore That teal cassette, still half rewinded Sounds like goodbye, but soft and unblinded [Pre-Chorus] If we fade, let’s fade like film in the sun Soft and slow, till we’re no longer one [Chorus] So I built a playlist for when we forget Songs that remember what we never said Track one is laughter, track two is your keys Track three’s the silence between apologies If this ends in echoes and old love letters, At least we'll still play in pieces forever [Verse 2] I passed the café where we almost kissed, Where time played soft and fate nearly missed You smiled like someone rehearsing goodbye And left with a promise you never signed [Pre-Chorus 2] Let the soundtracks play until they ache Let each chorus carry what we couldn't break [Chorus] I made a playlist for when we forget Lined with goodbyes we haven’t sung yet Track four’s our movie that cut off too soon Track five is dancing in a borrowed room And if someday we live like we never met, These songs will still know the chords of regret [Bridge] Rewind me slow in a minor key Erase the pain, but leave the melody I’ll hum your name through static and dust Forget the face... but remember the trust [Final Chorus] This is the playlist for when we forget Made from the hours I still can’t reset No chorus screams, no heartbreak show Just harmonies too soft to let go If time deletes the days we swore would last, Let music hold what memory can't grasp
