I Will Not Forget

I am leaving New York City today. I have kicked butt and I have been so deeply lucky to have found FAMILY here. Thank you all for your support and love. “I will not forget who this town has made me.”
verse 1
I find myself wanting to buy two t-shirts
with our names and faces
plastered on the back
I want to signal to the world that we happened
I cannot accept that this could be the last...
verse 2
but we’ve decided that it’s done,
so it’s done dearly
I thought we’d be another decade here
and I won’t believe it ‘til I pack up the car,
put my plants at my feet and I drive up the hill
and I see you there in the mirror...
chorus:
where you walk, where you run,
don’t go hiding from the sun
remember you are lucky to be running
and no matter how far
I am watching where you are
I’m holding up your heart with my two hands
I will not pretend
that you didn’t change me
I will not forget
who this town has made me
verse 3
I’m so grateful because
deep inside I’m breaking
I’m so happy
to see myself so sad
it means my time with you here
was never wasted
it means we’ve built something
that’s gonna last
verse 4
I think goodbye is such
a precious adventure
it clarifies exactly what matters
and when the curtain comes down
and the damage is done
you look like a clown
and you’re shocked and you’re stunned
that you wanna stay so badly...
bridge:
(same as verse)
cuz we were waiting for the day
that felt like we were winning
or the sign that said
“you’ve finished up that fight”
but now we’ve gotta go and bury something
we have always wanted
maybe we should follow a different light-
final chorus:
where you walk, where you run,
don’t go hiding from the sun
remember you are lucky to be running
and no matter how far
I am watching where you are
I’m holding up your heart with my two hands
I will not pretend
that you didn’t change me
I will not forget
who this town has made me
I will not pretend
that love is not
the sweeter side to be on
I will not forget
everything you gave me
I will not pretend
that you didn’t change me
I will not forget
who this town has made me
