Lyrical Analysis of...
Don't Forget Love
- **Don't Forget Love**
- (Ad lib: huh —yeah —)
- Verse 1
- City lights, heart fights, I been movin’ through the static,
- Gold chains, neon stains, but your name stayed automatic.
- They see the shine, they hear the lines, think I’m built to bluff,
- But under rhinestones, under shows, the real quiet ain’t enough.
- You ghosted like a text unread —I turned the page, then tore it,
- Took every promise off the shelf —sold it cheap, then stored it.
- Call it growth, call it grace, call it armor I don’t need,
- ‘Cause every crowd song, every loud tone, keeps rewindin’ you to me.
- Pre Chorus
- I’m flexin’ in the mirror, still singin’ your refrain,
- Swagger on the surface, but the chorus knows your name.
- Chorus (melodic, hook)
- Don’t forget love, don’t sleep on the truth,
- We burned the map but left the proof.
- Don’t forget love when the lights fade out,
- All the quiet rooms still callin’ out —
- Don’t forget love, don’t sell it cheap,
- It’s the wound that learned to keep.
- When the beat drops, when the crowd leaves,
- Don’t forget love —it’s what believes.
- Verse 2 (quick, clipped)
- You said forever like a contract —I signed it in the dark,
- We made a masterpiece of moments, then we missed the part.
- I saw the exit in your eyes, front row to your retreat,
- Packed my calm into a bag, wrote a verse for my heartbeat.
- Now I’m headlines and highlights, but behind the spotlight’s glow,
- There’s a reel of inside jokes and the rain we used to know.
- I’m pacin’ through the catalog of all the ways you stayed,
- Traded rooms for empty tunes, but the melody won’t fade.
- Pre Chorus
- I laugh at comeback offers, smile when I should scream,
- But love’s a stubborn rumor living loud inside my dream.
- Chorus (melodic, hook)
- Don’t forget love, don’t trade it for gold,
- It’s the ghost in the frame, the story still told.
- Don’t forget love when the silence comes,
- We priced our hearts, we lost the funds —
- Don’t forget love, don’t rewrite the past,
- It’s the anchor that held fast.
- When applause dies and the smoke clears,
- Don’t forget love —it reappears.
- Bridge (rapid fire, rhythmic)
- Look —we cut the rope, stitched the coat, wore the name like a badge,
- Talked in codes, sold the load, but the ledger keeps the math.
- Spin the vinyl, scratch the truth, two beats in double time,
- You find a rhymeless highway, I find a reason to rewind.
- Punchlines, red lines, headlines, rewind —but still,
- There’s a quiet that’s louder than the crowd and it’s closer than the thrill.
- Say you moved on —say you’re done —say you found a new sun,
- But where the chorus meets the hush, that’s where our story runs.
- Chorus (big, anthemic)
- Don’t forget love, don’t pawn the pain,
- It’s the only thing that keeps us humane.
- Don’t forget love when the world turns cold,
- Keep the ember, keep the hold —
- Don’t forget love, keep the light,
- Even broken, even slight.
- When the final note fades into hush,
- Don’t forget love —don’t let it crush.
- Outro (soft, resolute)
- Ad lib: huh —remember —
- We stitched the skyline with our names, then watched the weather change.
- But in the silent corners, in the songs we can’t explain,
- Don’t forget love —it remembers us.
