I Don’t Forget

[Verse 1]
Every single word you threw
Still hanging in the room
You laugh like it was nothing
I taste it like perfume
On clothes I never meant to keep
On nights I never meant to lose
You act like it’s forgotten
But I am walking with these bruises
[Chorus]
I don’t forget
What you said, what you did, how you left
You think it all just fades with time
But it lives in the corners of my mind
And the more I think about it
The more it aches inside my chest
You think I moved on, took a breath
But I don’t forget
[Verse 2]
You touched my hand in the kitchen
Then slammed the door in the hall
You swore that you were trying
Then let my hope just fall
You tell our friends it’s over
Like it’s some old worn-out song
But I still hear you in my head
Telling me I was the one who’s wrong
[Chorus]
I don’t forget
What you said, what you did, how you left
You think it all just fades with time
But it lives in the corners of my mind
And the more I think about it
The more it brings these bitter tears
You think it’s gone, that I’ve healed
But it’s written in these years
I don’t forget
I don’t forget

Sparse piano ballad with intimate female vocals, close-mic’d and breathy. First verse bare with soft reverb; chorus swells with warm pads and stacked harmonies, subtle sub-bass shadowing low notes. Second pass of the chorus adds airy vocal ad-libs and a distant, roomy snare for lift, then strip back to voice and piano on the final line.
