[Verse 1]
How long will it be?
For these memories to get past me
The picture of you leavin', the bitter coffee I was sippin'
Just as I told you, it's okay if we're through
[Pre-Chorus]
But when it's finally happened, I don't want it to end
I pray I don't dream of you
That all the love songs don't remind me of you
That somehow I can get by, but in the end, I'm the one to cry
[Chorus]
Oh, why haven't I forgotten?
Why haven't the memories of us rotten?
Maybe I just forget how to forget, my heart been trodden
Oh, why haven't I forgotten?
Why haven’t the memories of us rotten?
How much tears needed to wash away what we had?
How much time needed for me to quit being sad?
[Verse 2]
I need more time
Now, I just look at the time
I wait for the night to turn day
Wish I turn around and see you stay
I just realize missin' you is too painful
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep not forgettin', I’m too blameful
I pray, I don't dream of you
That all the love songs don't remind me of you
That somehow I can get by, but in the end, I'm the one to cry
[Chorus]
Oh, why haven't I forgotten?
Why haven't the memories of us rotten?
Maybe I just forget how to forget, my heart been trodden
Oh, why haven't I forgotten?
Why haven’t the memories of us rotten?
How much tears needed to wash away what we had?
How much time needed for me to quit being sad?
[Bridge]
I wish all traces of you could be unremembered
But the memories of you never seem to be bittered
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Oh why haven't I forgotten?
Why haven't the memories of us rotten?
How much tears needed to wash away what we had?
How much time needed for me to quit being sad?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
How much time needed for me to quit being sad?
