This Wild Life
How’d You Forget Us
[Verse 1]
Nostalgia's cheap and it gets the best of me
It's skin deep but a haunting memory (A haunting memory)
I try to forget you but you're permanent
Somehow you've moved on but I'm stuck in cement

[Chorus]
I guess you didn't know how to love
I guess you didn't care this much
All those memories of you, we'd stay up and talk in my room
I guess I didn't know it would fade
I guess you didn't feel the same
We'd laugh 'til it hurt, and cry 'til the sun would come up
How'd you forget us?
How'd you forget us?

[Verse 2]
Chronic pain when you're away from me (You're away from me)
Cheat the game, you played me faithfully
I heard you moved up North, I hope that it's cold
I'm still living down South, and moving on slow

[Chorus]
I guess you didn't know how to love
I guess you didn't care this much
All those memories of you, we'd stay up and talk in my room
I guess I didn't know it would fade
I guess you didn't feel the same
We'd laugh 'til it hurt, and cry 'til the sun would come up
How'd you forget us?
How'd you forget us?
[Verse 3]
We'd sneak a drink on your Mom's front porch
Avoid the noisy spots of my hallway floor
I always kept the window open
I never thought that time would close it
Next to the park where you taught me to drive
Our first kiss on the bench beside
This dashboard hears my confessions
I drive by still feel your presence

[Bridge]
If I would've known it was the last time we'd intertwine
I would've held more tight

[Chorus]
I guess you didn't know how to love
I guess you didn't care this much
All those memories of you, we'd stay up and talk in my room
I guess I didn't know it would fade
I guess you didn't feel the same
We'd laugh 'til it hurt, and cry 'til the sun would come up
How'd you forget us?
