Don’t Forget Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you forget that I was even alive?
Did you forget everything we ever had?
Did you forget?
Did you forget about me?
Did you regret (Did you regret) ever standing by my side?
Did you forget (Did you forget) what we were feeling inside?
Now I'm left to forget about us

[Chorus]
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

[Verse 2]
So now I guess this is where we have to stand
Did you regret ever holding my hand?
Never again
Please, don't forget
Don't forget
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget about us
[Chorus]
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it at all

[Bridge]
And at last, all the pictures have been burned
And all the past is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget, please don't forget us

[Outro]
Somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten about us
Don't forget

Genius Answer

In an interview with tommy2.net, Lovato said:

It’s a song I wrote with the Jonas Brothers called ‘Don’t Forget’ and it was about a personal experience that happened where I was really in to somebody and they basically walked away. I guess it’s how I got inspired for the album title and it kind fit my coming out CD called Demi Lovato and we wanted it to be like don’t forget it. So that’s pretty much how we got the name.
