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.
