[Verse 1]
I wanna to be forgotten
And I don't wanna be reminded
You said "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
I wanna be beside her
She wanna be admired
You said "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
[Chorus]
Oh dear, is it really all true?
Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?
Top ten ideas for countdown shows
Whose culture is this and does anybody know?
I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess"
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone
You don't miss me, I know
[Chorus]
Oh Tennessee, what did you write?
I come together in the middle of the night
Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause
I've got you to let me down
[Verse 2]
I wanna be forgotten
And I don't wanna be reminded
You say "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
I wanna be beside her
She wanna be admired
You say "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
