Forgot Your Face

[Intro] Yeah… Mhm… It’s funny how time runs away All the memories fade but the pain stays I sat here staring at this old photograph And I realized something that breaks me half [Chorus] I forgot your face Don’t know the shape of your smile or the look in your gaze I can’t recall how your eyes used to glow when you laughed Only the ghost of the love that we had I forgot your face Every detail’s been washed by the rain and the days I still feel the heartbreak, I still feel the pain But I forgot your face Yeah I forgot your face [Verse 1] It started slow, little things slipping away The curve of your jaw, the way you’d say my name I tried to hold on, tried to keep every part But time’s a thief that tears it all apart I remember the nights, the cold on the street The way that we promised we’d always be deep But when I close my eyes now there’s only a blur No version of you that I can recall for sure Is it brown? Is it dark? Did you smile with your teeth? Did you look at me different when you were with me? I don’t know anymore, it’s all faded to grey And that’s the saddest thing that I ever could say [Chorus] I forgot your face Don’t know the shape of your smile or the look in your gaze I can’t recall how your eyes used to glow when you laughed Only the ghost of the love that we had I forgot your face Every detail’s been washed by the rain and the days I still feel the heartbreak, I still feel the pain But I forgot your face Yeah I forgot your face [Verse 2] People ask me about you, what did you look like? And I stand there silent, nothing comes to mind I know I loved you more than I could explain But the image of you has slipped through the grain It’s been months, it’s been years, I don’t count the time gone Every little detail is slowly withdrawn I remember the feeling, the rush and the fall But the person you were… I can’t picture at all Maybe it’s better, maybe it’s how it should be If I can’t see you, you can’t hurt me But it still feels wrong, it still feels so strange To love someone whose face I can’t name [Bridge] I flipped through the album, the pages turned slow Looking for something that I used to know There you are standing, right there in the frame And I barely recognize your name Yeah… I barely recognize you at all [Chorus] I forgot your face Don’t know the shape of your smile or the look in your gaze I can’t recall how your eyes used to glow when you laughed Only the ghost of the love that we had I forgot your face Every detail’s been washed by the rain and the days I still feel the heartbreak, I still feel the pain But I forgot your face Yeah I forgot your face [Outro] Forgot your face… Only the love remains… Yeah… ---
