Lyrics

I forgot to remember to forget herI can’t seem to get her off my mindI thought I’d never miss herBut I found out somehowI think about her almost all the timeThe day she went awayI made myself a promiseThat I’d soon forget we ever metBut something sure is wrong‘Cause I’m so blue and lonelyI forgot to remember to forget
The day she went awayI made myself a promiseThat I’d soon forget we ever metWell, but something sure is wrong‘Cause I’m so blue and lonelyI forgot to remember to forget
