forget about you

I feel like I'm not close enough
But I wish I was further away
I keep hanging onto everything you used to say
How when I really said goodbye I would thrive
And you'd keep moving
And we'd be on the other side

I wanna be closer
But I wanna be further away
I need to separate myself from all the things you used to say
How you noticed that
I always cuff the sleeves of my sweaters
And the way I fix my hair every single day

I need to forget about you
And you should forget about me too
'Cause I'm not coming back
And I doubt that you would too
I need to forget about you

I feel like I'm not close enough
But I wish I was closer away
I keep hanging onto everything you used to say
How could you leave me after all I gave to you
I need to forget about you

I need to forget about you
And you should forget about me too
'Cause I'm not coming back
And I doubt that you would too
I need to forget about you

Forget about you
Start moving on with my life
There's better things out there
If I stop hanging on so tight
Forget about you
About how you're living your lives
And I'm caught on the other side
Forget about you
Forget the day that I met her
And I knew she was so much better
I wanna forget her

Forget about the way
You looked at me that first night
But I can't
'Cause I'm still holding on
Why am I still holding on

Forget about the day
You first played me piano
Forget about the day
You wrote a song for me
Forget about all the bedtime stories
Forget how it felt sleeping next to you
Forget it all
Forget about you

I need to forget about you
And you should forget about me too
Forget about me
I'm too far gone
Forget about you
I feel like I'm not close enough
But I wish I was further away
