List of People [To Try and Forget About] lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now I gotta add you to my list of people to try and forget about

Now I gotta add yours to my list of faces to try and not think about

Now I gotta tell 'em I don't care and hope that nobody might work it out

It was obviously an illusion 'cause there's never been so much I've been wrong about

And I don't want to spend all my days thinking of the one I can't live without

So I'm gonna have to add you to my list of people to try and forget about

To try and for-

[Chorus]

And as the years go by

Your name will fade out gradually

They'll think my heart went dry

But it was waiting in-

[Verse 2]

So now I gotta add you to my list of people to try and forget about

It could've been magic

Nearly had ya

Could you imagine

Nearly had ya

'Til it becomes another one of the things that I just can't talk about

I'm gonna have to keep you on my list of people to try and forget about

Try and for-

[Chorus]

And as the years go by

Your name will fade out gradually

They'll think my heart went dry

But it was waiting in the wings

And as the years go by

You'll stay a banished memory

They'll say my love has died

But it was waiting in the wings
