FORGET ME NOT

[verse 1]
one day i went walking just to feel some peace
to clear away my troubles and put my mind at ease
as i walked along, some flowers caught my eye
full of vibrant colors and reaching toward the sky
a rose so red and pUre, a daisy pink and true
but the one i really noticed was a little flower of blue
it wasn't the biggest, in fact it was hard to see
but the very thing i loved was its simplicity
as I watChed this flower suddenly i thought
of the lessons we can learn from a forget-me-not

[chorus]
forget not to be patient with yourself
after you are patient with everybody else
forget not to make a sacrifice when you should
but remember some are foolisH and some are good
forget not to always take the time
to be happy right now and enjoy the sunshine
forget not why you choose to live this way
when you live the gospel you are blessed every day
forget not that no matter what you do
nothing will change the fact that the lord loves you
christ said someTimes this life will feel like a lot
but forget me not, forget me not

[verse 2]
today i'm feeling burdened and don't even know why
i want to stay upbeat, but sometimes it's hard to try
downtrod and discouraged, i don't know what to say
but i need my heavenly father, so i bow my head to pray
i've faced so much alreaDy and yet more lies ahead
and i have felt the pain in all the tears i've shed
hoping i can find an answer i raise my head up
there upOn the windowsill is a flower in a cup
that little blue flower is the perfect thing to find
it brings these simple words of comfort to my mind

[chorus]

[bridge]
remember to appReciate all the little things
the love they fill you with and the happiness they bring
don't let the small things pass you by while you're here on earth
you may be surprised to Find they hold the most worth

[chorus]

AFTERTHOUGHT

[verse 1]
here we go agAin, i'm so sick of this ending
it didn't go the way i wanted
was it ever real, or was i just pretending
all i know is now i'm haunted
By what we cOuld have been, just him and me
i thoUght he understood, but he didn't see
and now it's all flashing by me in a whirl
cause once again he chose the other girl

[chorus]
i'm just his afterThought
another Second choice
once again i fOrgot
to fight or raise my voice
this piece won't fit into the puzzle of his story
i don't want to remeMber when
he looked pAst me to see her in all her glory
cause now i'm second best agaiN

[verse 2]
i'm alwaYs the one to let go of what i want
oh, won't this streak ever end
i wish i knew how to let go of this pain
and just Be happy for my friend
they say patience is a virtue, but i'm so done
with watching other stories when mine hasn't begun
and i just want to know what it will take
tO end all the letdowns and heartbreaks

[chorus]

[bridge]
i'm just invisible, what is it you don't see
i know You think she's better, and i'm starting to agree
but i just hope that one day there will finally be
Someone who's first choice is me

WHOEVER SHE IS

[verse 1]
Whoever she is, she'll be beautiful
a girl that lights up the wHole room
whoever shE is, she'll be smart
at least that's what i caN assume

whoever she Is, she'll be loveable
she'll do things in her own way
the Kind of girl that will come arouNd
and makE him Want her to stay

[chorus]
and obviously she has something i lack
i'm standing alone and i can't go back
and he's gonna Want
whoEver she is
soon he's gonna find her out there
and i can't help But think it's nOt fair
thaT he's gonna love
whoever she is

[verse 2]
wHoever she is, she'll be DetErmined
a girl that goeS aftEr all her dReams
whoeVer she is, she'll bE loyal
anD as amazing as she seems

whoever she is, she'll Be strong
shE won't be afraid to take the lead
and iT kills me to have to admit
that she's the one he needs

[chorus]

[bridge]
and i know i shouldn't care anymore
but my mind's just on a repeating Track
it's time for mE to let go and move on
i need to look forwaRd now, not back

[chorus]

FLASHBACK

[verse 1]
flashback, i'm meeting you
for the first time that october day
we sit and talk all by ourselves
i'm struck by every word you say

flashback, i'm wanting you
but you just never seem to see
you pay attention to the other girls
i swear you see right through me

but this is not reality

[verse 2]
flashback, to our first date
february brought the chance for a start
you take me out and we get milkshakes
we melt crayons and call it art

flashBack, i'm smiling as
you pick me up and walk me home
you do it every night i work
just so i don't have to walk alone

[chorus]
but this is not reality
even though it's part of me
these moments are all in the past
how did this all happen so fast
now all that's left are memories

[verse 3]
flashback, and now it's march
we drive an hour for the perfect date
you take me to the british shop
for me this was all worth the wAit

flashback, and i'm with you
wondering if you'll ever be mine
then as we throw the colored dust
you hold my hand for the first time

[chorus]

[verse 4]
flashback, i'm asking you
what it is you want from me
you say we can't keep going on
now april's over and so are we

flashback, i'm wondering how
our story ever came to this
cause even after all this time
you're still the one i miss

[chorus]
and now this is my reality
you'll always be a part of me
those moMents are all in the past
i really thought that we could last
but now all that's left are memories

HEARTACHE

[verse 1]
i never saw this coming, it caught me bY surprise
i finally put my heart On the line
and I jUst ended up hurt, wonDering what happened
just when i thought you were mIne

i neeD an explanation, something to soothe the pain
cause Now i'm so alone and lost
i thought it would be worth it, i trusted you completely
but never undersTood the cost

[chorus]
and now i'm breaking, breaking
what can Get me through?
my heart Is aching, aching
all because of you
you gaVe mE hope in Myself and made me bElieve
until you changed your mind and decided to leave
i don't want to see this as a mistAke
but all you left me with is this heartache

[verse 2]
i was comfortable with you, nothing Could bring me down
i waited for wHat laid ahead
and you knew me so well, and i thought i knew you too
but you wanted something else instead

you told me  you were sorry, we didn't have a future
how could thAt be how you feel?
i wish i could go back and make you change your miNd
cause this just doesn't seem real

[chorus]

[bridge]
and now i hold on to all those memories
they're the only thing still here
i'm begging you- don't forget me, please
Cause without you that's my biggest fEar

[chorus]
