About This Track
"How to Forget About You" is a heart-wrenching acoustic ballad that captures the lingering ache of lost love. Performed as a haunting duet between a weary male voice and a tender yet resilient female voice, the song moves through waves of sorrow, memory, and longing. Backed by soft piano, acoustic guitar, subtle strings, and heartbeat-like drums, the lyrics paint a vivid portrait of two people unable to let go of a love that still echoes in every corner of their lives. Emotionally raw and deeply intimate, the track explores the quiet devastation of trying to move on when forgetting feels impossible.
Lyrics
[Intro (Voice 1: Male; weary, slow-paced, soft piano and acoustic guitar picking)]
(Male):
I’ve read the books, I’ve tried the silence,
I’ve walked away a thousand times,
But your name still knows the corners
Of every thought inside my mind...
[Verse 1 (Voice 2: Female; tender, haunted tone)]
(Female):
I changed the sheets, I moved the pictures,
Painted over all our days,
But your touch still haunts the shadows,
No matter how I rearrange...
[Pre-Chorus (Both; restrained harmony, building emotional weight)]
(Both):
I keep searching for the answers,
But I’m only finding pain...
[Chorus (Both; emotional release, steady acoustic rhythm)]
(Male):
Tell me how to forget about you,
(Female):
How to quiet every tear,
(Both):
How to breathe without the aching,
When your ghost is always near.
Every road leads back to never,
Every dawn brings back your name,
Tell me how to forget about you,
When forgetting feels the same...
[Verse 2 (Voice 1: Male; honest, low and reflective)]
(Male):
I threw away your old love letters,
But they’re burned into my chest,
Even dreams can't fake the silence
Where your laughter used to rest...
[Verse 3 (Voice 2: Female; growing strength through sorrow)]
(Female):
I tried to fall into another,
But no one fits the way you do,
Every smile just feels like lying
To a heart that still wants you...
[Pre-Chorus (Both; more intense, like a confession)]
(Both):
I keep hoping time will heal it,
But it only carves your name...
[Chorus (Both; stronger delivery, harmonies soar slightly higher)]
(Male):
Tell me how to forget about you,
(Female):
How to lose what won’t let go,
(Both):
How to walk away from always
When it's written in my soul.
Every promise keeps on bleeding,
Every song just sounds like you,
Tell me how to forget about you,
When I don’t know how to lose...
[Bridge (Both; overlapping lines, vulnerable harmonies)]
(Male):
Even silence speaks your name...
(Female):
Even time can’t dull the flame...
(Both):
You’re the echo I can’t push away...
[Final Chorus (Both; emotional climax, full band slowly rising then pulling back at the end)]
(Male):
Tell me how to forget about you,
(Female):
Still I whisper every night,
(Both):
Like a prayer I can’t stop saying,
Like a star that lost its light.
Even if I keep on trying,
Even if I break in two,
Tell me how to forget about you,
When I never wanted to...
[Outro (Voice 2: Female; soft, broken whisper)]
(Female):
Still don’t know...
How to forget about you...
(Faint heartbeat-like drum fades with distant reverb of a piano note)
(Male):
I’ve read the books, I’ve tried the silence,
I’ve walked away a thousand times,
But your name still knows the corners
Of every thought inside my mind...
[Verse 1 (Voice 2: Female; tender, haunted tone)]
(Female):
I changed the sheets, I moved the pictures,
Painted over all our days,
But your touch still haunts the shadows,
No matter how I rearrange...
[Pre-Chorus (Both; restrained harmony, building emotional weight)]
(Both):
I keep searching for the answers,
But I’m only finding pain...
[Chorus (Both; emotional release, steady acoustic rhythm)]
(Male):
Tell me how to forget about you,
(Female):
How to quiet every tear,
(Both):
How to breathe without the aching,
When your ghost is always near.
Every road leads back to never,
Every dawn brings back your name,
Tell me how to forget about you,
When forgetting feels the same...
[Verse 2 (Voice 1: Male; honest, low and reflective)]
(Male):
I threw away your old love letters,
But they’re burned into my chest,
Even dreams can't fake the silence
Where your laughter used to rest...

[Outro (Voice 2: Female; soft, broken whisper)]
(Female):
Still don’t know...
How to forget about you...
