For Someone Who Forgot Me

FOR SOMEONE WHO FORGOT ME
Lyrics & Original Melody: Marcelo Gomes de Macedo

[Intro]
[Violin solo on Verse 1 melody]

[Verse 1]
A wounded heart,
so tired of hurting for love,
though left behind,
still holds on to hope
of loving once again.

[Verse 2]
Then a new love begins
with beautiful promises
only lovers know.

[Verse 3]
The brightest star is hers.
The fairest rose I planted was for her.
Not Juliet, Rapunzel or Cinderella—
of every lovely soul, she's the loveliest of all.

[Violin and flute fills]

[Verse 4]
She was the best part of me,
my brightest smile,
more than I ever needed,
the perfect picture
of what heaven feels like.

[Violin and flute fills]
[Repeat Verse 4 melody]
[Verse 5]
Then one day she was gone, never came back.
The rose I planted faded away.
She took my smile when she walked away.
She swore she loved me,
but she never really did.

[Repeat Verse 4 melody]
[Verse 5]
In the end, my heart grew quiet.
I wrote poems she never read.
As I wrote, a teardrop fell.
So I wrote this song
for someone who forgot me.

[Violin solo over Verse 4 melody]
[End]
