In Case Anyone Forgot Lyrics

Junior high was rough, I guess

I asked my crush out to a dance

And he said no

I guess I should've known

That I was never cool enough

I was in my head and heart too much

I should've known

That they would all say no

But I still hold a candle out to sea

Praying that an old flame

Will return to me

And I still wish on every star I see

Wishing that my dreams

Won't return empty

Because I'm still in my head and heart a lot

And I've never been good at letting go

In case anyone forgot

Eighteen years proved just as hard

And August ripped right through my heart

I can't be mad

Over what we had

But as I write each statement down

I ripped up and chewed myself out

Over what we had

'Cause I was so damn mad

And I still hold a candle out to sea

Praying that an old flame

Will return to me

And I still wish on every star I see

Wishing that my dreams

Won't return empty

Because I'm still in my head and heart a lot

And I've never been good at letting go

In case anyone forgot

And I wish I could say that it was all innocent

And that it didn't hurt me like it did

I was young, but not naïve

I was tough, but I still bleed

And even now

I still hold a candle out to sea

Praying that an old flame

Will return to me

And I still wish on every star I see

Wishing that my dream

Won't return empty

Because I'm still in my head and heart a lot

And sometimes I get burned when I give all that I've got

They say I care too much and maybe I should stop

But I've never been good at letting go

In case anyone forgot
