This song is in the same key as in Teen Idle (F major). She even uses the same chords (except A major). But most importantly, the exact same synt meldoy plays during the bridge in both songs. I think this is on purpose. She wanted to make a tribute to Teen Idle as she sang about her regrets, but in this song she is at peace with it and wants to just move on. They're the same but yet SO different and it should come to no suprise that these two songs rank highest of my list of favourite Marina songs.
Even when the song is sad it's still happy. What a beautiful crazy life we are all lucky to have. I'm grateful for my life experiences in all its varieties
FORGET (Lyrics) Sometimes I think I'm not as strong But there's a force that carries me on Sick of my small heart, made of steel Sick of the wounds that never heal (never heal) 'Cause I have lived my life in debt I've spent my days in deep regret Yeah, I been living in the red Oh, 'cause I can't forgive and I can't forget Forget Forget, forget Forget, forget Ain't no time for regret Yeah, it's time to forget Ever since I can remember Life was like a tipping scale Like an abacus I played with Counting every win and fail (win and fail) 'Cause I have lived my life in debt I've spent my days in deep regret Yeah, I've been living in the red But I wanna forgive and forget Forget, forget Forget, forget Ain't no time for regret Yeah, it's time to be letting go Oh, baby you know What I'm talking about Got nothing to lose and nothing to prove Oh, baby, I'm bowing out Out, I'm bowing out Yeah, I've been dancing with the devil I love that he pretends to care If I'll ever get to heaven When a million dollars gets you there Oh, all the time that I have wasted Chasing rabbits down a hole When I was born to be the tortoise I was born to walk alone Forget about it Forget about it Forget about it Forget, forget Forget, forget Ain't no time for regret I'm gonna leave the past behind I've had enough, I'm breaking free No pressing stop, erase, rewind That chain of thought that followed me I've put my money where my mouth is For the first time in my life I've made mistakes but I believe that Everything was worth the fight 'Cause in the end, the road is long But only cause it makes you strong It's filled with peaks and twists and turns Sometimes you have to learn to forget about it
