Lyrics
HOW COULD I FORGET
(c) Jaffe/Farina
You're perfect for me
my friends always used to say
the kind of guy
I should never let get away
You have this smile
my heart just melts inside
and when you put your arms around me
that's when I really feel alive
And then a memory comes back to me
and I can hardly breathe...
OH NO, NO... HOW COULD I FORGET
The times you scream and put me down
Curse me out, shove me around
OH NO, NO... HOW COULD I FORGET
You turn to ice just to make me cry
and feel like I wanna die
HOW COULD I FORGET
Now my friends
tell me I should leave
but I just can't bear the thought
I just have to believe
that, when you say
you'll love me til you die
and never hurt me again
it's the truth coming out from deep inside
So I've been holding on to that
I haven't let go yet...
I'm the one to blame
I put up with all the lies and pain
No matter what they say
when I see you, I fall again, fall again (and again)
I FALL RIGHT BACK
