Lyric

I won’t be here forever, no

One day I’ll have to go

I know I’ll leave, it’s true

But before I do, I ask one thing from you

Keep a gentle memory of me in your mind

Like that song you sing with the wind every time

I don’t want to be a name you say without feeling

An empty habit that helps you keep moving

And it’s normal if you don’t recall every word, I know

Every little line, every rule we made to grow

But keep a piece of me alive inside

Whenever you think of us… and the pain of goodbye

I don’t want to be the mark you wiped away by mistake!

(“Oh, no, no, no…”)

Or a fading memory that slowly starts to break!

I don’t want to be the name you’ll forget!

(“…forget…”)

I want to be the one you call without even thinking yet!

You may not want me…

…or maybe you do…

But don’t forget me

I’m not eternal, no, it’s simple, it’s true

And time keeps running, it won’t miss you

It takes the details, the laughter, the color

And leaves just the emptiness of what our love was for

And I ask for just an anchor, a little honesty

In the vast ocean of your fragility

I don’t want to be the mark you wiped away by mistake!

(“Oh, no, no, no…”)

Or a fading memory that slowly starts to break!

I don’t want to be the name you’ll forget!

(“…forget…”)

I want to be the one you call without even thinking yet!

And if my voice should fail…

And my image turn to mist…

Will my essence remain? Or just dust in the wind?

I want to be present…

…in every moment inside your mind

I DON’T WANT TO BE THE MARK YOU WIPED AWAY BY MISTAKE!

(“NO, NO, NO…”)

OR A FADING MEMORY THAT SLOWLY STARTS TO BREAK!

I DON’T WANT TO BE THE NAME YOU’LL FORGET!

(“…forget…”)

I WANT TO BE THE ONE YOU CALL WITHOUT EVEN THINKING YET!

…keep me…

…in your memory…
