Can't Remember to Forget You Lyrics

And I left a note on my bedpost
Saying not to repeat yesterday's mistakes
What I tend to do when it comes to you
I see only the good, selective memory
The way you make me feel, yeah
You got a hold on me, I never met someone so different

Oh here we go
You're part of me now
You're part of me
So where you go I follow, follow, follow

Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I can't remember to forget you
Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me
The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight
Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I can't remember to forget you

I can't remember to forget you

I go back again
Fall off the train
Land in his bed, repeat yesterday's mistakes
What I'm trying to say
Is not to forget
You see only the good, selective memory
The way he makes me feel like
The way he makes me feel, I never seemed to act so stupid
Oh here we go
He a part of me now
He a part of me
So where he goes I follow, follow, follow

Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I can't remember to forget you
Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me
The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight
Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I can't remember to forget you

I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I'll do anything for that boy
I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
I'll do anything for that boy

I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I'll do anything for that boy
I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
I'll do anything for that boy

Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I can't remember to forget you
Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me
The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight
Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I can't remember to forget you

But when you look at me
The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight
Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
I can't remember to forget you

What is the Meaning of Can't Remember to Forget You?

A tale of a consuming, passionate love that one struggles to let go is poignantly narrated in this song. The lyrics depict the internal conflict of the singers who are aware of their past mistakes and the need to move on, yet find themselves irresistibly drawn back into the relationship. The use of "selective memory" illustrates their tendency to only recall the positive aspects, thereby perpetuating their cycle of returning. The desperate lengths they would go to preserve this relationship, as expressed through phrases like "I rob and I kill," further emphasize the intensity and toxicity of this attachment. This song serves as a powerful reminder of how difficult it can be to break free from an unhealthy relationship, even when one acknowledges its detrimental effects. #UnhealthyLove #ToxicRelationship #EmotionalStruggle
