Seven Months Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How can I forget you
Disregard how I feel
Silently listen
To the words I can't see

[Chorus 1]
As long as I have tried
As low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial I seek

[Verse 2]
Why should I forgive you
After all that I've seen
Quietly whisper
When my heart wants to scream

[Chorus 2]
For as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial I seek

[Verse 3]
There's no time to rest
Or to reconsider
For this cruel unsaid
Won't concede
[Chorus 2]
For as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial I seek

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
