Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was doing alright
Till somebody said your name
Now I’m sitting here quiet
Like I don’t know what to say
It’s been long enough
I should’ve gotten past this
But seeing you still messes with me
And I hate that I admit it
You walked in like nothing happened
Like we never were a thing
And I smiled back at you
Like my chest wasn’t caving in
I wanted to ask you
If you ever think about it
But what’s the point?
You probably don’t even remember it like I do
[Pre-Chorus]
So don’t stand too close
Don’t look at me that way
I know myself
And I know what that does
I spent too long
Trying to get you out of my head
I don’t need you putting yourself
Back in it
[Chorus]
Don’t make me remember
Don’t make me go back there
Don’t make me wonder
If you ever really cared
I’m finally getting somewhere
Don’t come undoing all of that
You don’t get to touch my heart
Just because you know where it’s at
Don’t make me remember
What I worked so hard to forget
‘Cause I can still feel everything
And I ain’t ready for that yet
[Verse 2]
I know you’re not mine
I know I don’t have a right
To wonder where you sleep
Or who you’re holding tonight
But sometimes I still wonder
If you ever miss my voice
If you ever hear our song
And wish you’d made a different choice
And that’s embarrassing
‘Cause I don’t want you back
Not the way you were
Not the way you made me feel
I just want my heart
To stop reacting to you
Like nothing ever happened
[Pre-Chorus]
So don’t stand too close
Don’t look at me that way
I know myself
And I know what that does
I spent too long
Trying to get you out of my head
I don’t need you putting yourself
Back in it
[Chorus]
Don’t make me remember
Don’t make me go back there
Don’t make me wonder
If you ever really cared
I’m finally getting somewhere
Don’t come undoing all of that
You don’t get to touch my heart
Just because you know where it’s at
Don’t make me remember
What I worked so hard to forget
‘Cause I can still feel everything
And I ain’t ready for that yet
[Bridge — whispered]
I almost asked you how you’ve been…
Almost.
Then I remembered
How long it took me
To stop checking for your name.
So if I seem cold
I’m not trying to hurt you.
I’m trying not to hurt me.
[Final Chorus]
Don’t make me remember
Don’t make me feel sixteen again
Don’t make me question
Everything I finally understand
You had your chance
I had mine
And somewhere in between
We lost whatever we were
So don’t come looking at me
Like you still know me
You don’t.
Don’t make me remember
I’m finally learning how to forget.
