Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Did you forget

That I was even alive?

Did you forget

Everything we ever had?

Did you forget?

Did you forget about me?

Did you regret

Ever standing by my side?

Did you forget

What we were feeling inside?

Now I'm left

To forget about us

But somewhere we went wrong

We were once so strong

Our love is like a song

You can't forget it

So now I guess

This is where we have to stand

Did you regret

Ever holding my hand?

Never again, please don't forget

Don't forget

We had it all,

We were just about to fall

Even more in love than we were before

I won't forget,

I won't forget about us

But somewhere we went wrong

We were once so strong

Our love is like a song

You can't forget it

But somewhere we went wrong

We were once so strong

Our love is like a song

You can't forget it (at all)

And at last

All the pictures have been burned

And all the past

Is just a lesson that we've learned

I won't forget,

Please don't forget us

Somewhere we went wrong

Our love is like a song

But you won't sing along

You've forgotten about us

Don't forget

Key Grammar Structures

• Did you forget that I was even alive?

  ➔ Past Simple Interrogative

  ➔ Using "Did" + subject + base verb forms questions about completed past actions. "forget" is in base form after auxiliary "Did".

• Did you regret ever standing by my side?

  ➔ Verb + Gerund (regret standing)

  ➔ Certain verbs (like "regret") are followed directly by gerunds. "Standing" functions as a noun describing the action.

• Now I'm left to forget about us

  ➔ Passive Construction (be left to)

  ➔ "Am left" indicates a passive state where the subject experiences an action. "to forget" is an infinitive showing purpose/result.

• We were once so strong

  ➔ Copula Verb + Adverbial Phrase

  ➔ "Were" acts as a copula connecting subject "We" to adjectival complement "strong", modified by adverbial "once so".

• Even more in love than we were before

  ➔ Comparative Adverb (more) + Subordinate Clause

  ➔ "more" modifies the adjectival phrase "in love", while "than" introduces a comparative subordinate clause.

• I won't forget about us

  ➔ Future Simple Negative (won't)

  ➔ "won't" (will not) expresses negative future intention or refusal. Base verb "forget" follows without "to".

• All the pictures have been burned

  ➔ Present Perfect Passive

  ➔ "have been burned" combines present perfect (has/have + past participle) with passive voice (be + past participle).

• All the past is just a lesson that we've learned

  ➔ Defining Relative Clause

  ➔ "that we've learned" modifies "lesson", providing essential defining information about the noun.
