Forget About You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
Girl since you left, I confess getting over you feels so wrong
Forgive and forget
That's what they said I gotta do to get through the moving on
Got step right the other step's holding on strong

[Chorus]
But the talk of the pine trees, girl they remind me
Just how good it was back when your loving was mine
We were nineteen, chasing that lightning
We were Colorado high
Didn't get a goodbye
Just a note on the fridge and them words that you said
Still stuck in my head like glue
Yeah I forgive
Yeah I forgive
But I can't forget about you

[Verse 2]
Oh God knows I'm trying
But I wanna rewind it
Back to the day when you had my back before them plans fell through
Ain't no denying
And girl I'd be lying if I said I'm getting over you
[Chorus]
The talk of the pine trees, girl they remind me
Just how good it was back when your loving was mine
We were nineteen, chasing that lightning
We were Colorado high
Didn't get a goodbye
Just a note on the fridge and them words that you said
Still stuck in my head like glue
Yeah I forgive
Yeah I forgive
But I can't forget about

[Bridge]
Those nights that we'd dance slow
Both bare feet on that dirt road
Didn't know what I was about to lose
Never thought it'd be you
Too good to be true

[Chorus]
But the talk of the pine trees, girl they remind me
Just how good it was back when your loving was mine
We were nineteen, chasing that lightning
We were Colorado high
Didn't get a goodbye
Just a note on the fridge and them words that you said
Still stuck in my head like glue
Yeah I forgive
Yeah I forgive
But I can't forget about you
No I can't forget about you
No I can't forget about you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Bailey Zimmerman say about "Forget About You"?
Genius Answer

When we came up with that [lyric], it was the funniest thing. Because I’m like, ‘Is there a song that talks about this?’ And we looked it up and looked it up and we were just like, no, what the heck? ‘Forgive, but I can’t forget about you. That’s a simple hook. And when we wrote it with Drew [Baldridge] and Gavin [Lucas] and the producer, I had the chorus first. And then we were like, 'Let’s make this real swampy for the people that really loved me back [during] that phase! It’s just sick, and live it’s going to crush.
