Please Don't Forget Me

Intro

I know everybody's trying.

I just...

Don't wanna disappear quietly.

Verse 1

I'm always checking if you're okay

Making sure the bad thoughts stay away

Trying hard to light the room

Even when I'm hurting too

And maybe that's just who I am

Holding hearts with shaking hands

But lately I've been getting scared

What if nobody notices I'm there?

Pre-Chorus

Cause I can smile through anything

That doesn't mean I don't break

Chorus

Please don't forget me

When I stop being strong

When I don't have the right words

Or know how to carry on

Please don't look past me

Just because I seem alright

Some of us fall apart slowly

And hide it every night

Verse 2

Sometimes I wanna say I'm tired

Instead of pretending I'm inspired

To keep fixing every crack

While pieces of me don't come back

I know everyone's afraid

I know we're all trying to stay safe

But sometimes kindness gets so heavy

When nobody asks if you can carry it

Pre-Chorus

And I'm scared that if I stop smiling

I'll stop mattering too

Chorus

Please don't forget me

When I finally slow down

When the stitched-up perfect version

Can't keep everyone around

Please don't walk past me

Like I'm easy to replace

Cause even the softest people

Can completely lose their place

Bridge

I spent so long trying to comfort everybody else

I forgot what it feels like to be comforted too

Final Chorus

Please don't forget me

Even when I start to fade

Even when I don't know how

To keep acting unafraid

Please just stay near me

That's all I really need

Not a hero, not perfection

Just someone who still sees me

Outro

...I'm still here.
