This is a song about looking back on something you’ve done, and realising you are in the wrong. It’s been so long that you don’t know them anymore, but you hope they know you’ve realised your mistakes, and they forgive you.
[Verse 1]
Dear Luca
How's it been six years running
Away from the girl I knew?
At least who I thought you were
Dear Luca
Maybe I got it all wrong
Maybe you were meant to stay
Maybe you were happy that way
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I remember when you looked at me and everything else blurred out
And I said I'd follow you
It's funny how our memory has turned into the enemy now
But I still remember you
[Chorus]
Luca
I hope you've forgiven me
Luca
[Verse 2]
Dear Luca
It took me six years to get it
You can get lost out there
But you can get lost right here
Dear Luca
Thought I always knew what you wanted
It wasn't my place to say
It ended up a different way
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I remember when I moved away and you were so angry at me
I wonder if you get it now
It's funny how your memory turned me to the enemy
How do you feel about it now?
[Chorus]
Luca
I hope you've forgiven me
Luca
I hope you've forgiven you too
[Bridge]
What I'm really trying to say
Is I hope you're in a better place now
And I hope that you can say the same about me too
And I know that so much has changed
But in a way, we're still just the same
I spent the last six years trying to replace you
[Chorus]
Luca
I hope you've forgiven me
Luca
I hope you've forgiven you too
Luca
I hope you've forgiven me
Luca
I hope you'll forget about me
