This song is about loathing someone you were with and wanting to forget them. This character, he/she regrets being with this person but can’t erase their memories even when the person left them for somebody else and this has them feeling abandoned/forsaken.
[Verse 1]
I recall going madly in love with you
And I remember this
How could I forget?
Regret is a needle
In my neck
It's slowly filling me
With poison
Spreading to my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my pain and numb me from this
[Chorus]
Why do I have to beg
When all that is left
Is a memory
Forsaken
Why do I have to beg
When all that is left
Is a memory
Forsaken
[Verse 2]
I recall pledging my sole devotion to you
It reminds me how
Now I am on my knees
My guilt consumes
Lost the will in me
Wasting away before you
Hold me closer please
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my pain and numb me from this
[Chorus]
Why do I have to beg
When all that is left
Is a memory
Forsaken
Why do I have to beg
When all that is left
Is a memory
Forsaken
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You break me
Forsake
You break me
Forsake
You break me
You're breaking me
[Verse 3]
I recall going madly in love with you
And I remember this
[Chorus]
Tell me
Why do I have to beg
When all that's left
Is a memory
Forsaken
Why do I have to beg
When all that's left
Is a memory
Forsaken
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Forsaken
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me why, why, why, why
