Skillet - Forsaken (Lyrics)

Song "Forsaken" by "Skillet" from album "Collide".
Lyrics:
v1:
I recall going madly in love with you
And I remember this
How could I forget?
Regret is a needle in my neck
It's slowly filling me with poison
Spreading to my chest
Take my pain and numb me from this
Chorus:
Why do i have to beg when all that's left
Is a memory forsaken [2x]
v2:
I recall pledging my sole devotion to you
It reminds me how now i'm on my knees
my guilt consumes,
lost the will in me
wasting away before you
hold me closer please
take my pain and numb me from this
Why do i have to beg
when all thats left
is a memory forsaken [2x]
Bridge:
Forsake
You break me
Forsake
You break me
Your breaking me
I recall going madly inlove with you
And I remember this
Tell me why do I have to beg
When all thats left
Is a memory forsaken [2x]
Tell me why
Why [3x]

[@petermarsh60]

to this day i still feel this was their best work. it is certainly their heaviest and darkest album as far as lyrical content and mood. open wounds is a banger as well..

[@mathprodigy]

Peter Marsh this album is absolutely their best work because it's before they sold out but yet when they were just catching fire

[@decom707]

"Sold out"

[@albertapodaca]

Their new album dominion is pretty good so far.

[@leandroagonzalez3]

I found them with this album is the Christian store. Next was the comatose album and then there awake album. After I explored other genres of rock, metal, and post hard-core..... this is their best album . Maybe not for all but what I needed, it's this album I did come across their alien youth album in between because i was searching for the sound given in this album. I recommend alien youth after this album . My girlfriend didn't grow up listening to this type of music, not mainstream, and she liked alien youth It's more punk

[@eviltoad746]

Man this song got some HEAVY in it

[@owlgirl1219]

Ikr lol

[@kaylakhaos6739]

I like it :)

[@kyleshepard3139]

amen to that brother, a-fuckin'-men. \m/

[@colinmiller8824]

Yeah, Alien Youth and Collide are pretty heavy albums. That's what makes them great Comatose and Awake are basically just watered down versions of Collide

[@tankdempsey6662]

@@colinmiller8824 No Imao, Comatose is its own Beast (and Awake got some pretty good tracks too)

[@MortalKombatGirls]

this is their best album. I still get chills, even after the many years of listening to it over and over again.

[@TeeTownVideos]

Wow. I didnt realize John could scream like that!

[@NapstaBlook666]

Forsake!!!!!!!!!!!! you break me!!! i love it when john cooper screams :D

[@Kira88023]

Yeah ! moi aussi j'aime quand il crie !

[@alanferreira7512]

a very cool music collide!!!

[@dayron9802]

I'd want to back good old Skillet style like in Collide

[@blakegaetjens1623]

I've literally been here for an hour or so just downloading Skillet songs. REALLY GREAT ARTISTS! Love these songs.

[@omcduffa]

Personally, I LOVE the part when John says," Take My Pain." I ♥ Skillet :3

[@michaelgarzon6945]

Your breaking MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@dannyd.4099]

Michael Garzon chills everytime!

[@18FrozenAngels]

Look. Just because Skillet is a Christian band, doesn't mean we have to talk about religion on their videos. Besides, you don't have to be Christian to like their songs. John even said that. Let's just listen to some awesome music. \m/

[@reekitrhymeswithweak4107]

Of course ! I agree with you. I haven't got any religion. But I love Skillet. I love John Cooper. And doesn't mater if Skillet is a Christian band or not. I love Comatose Album !!! Skillet is one of the Best band ever !

[@clairegeary9227]

Good music is good music, that's all that really matters. Sincerely, Quite possibly the most open minded Christian you'll meet. (See, we're not all jerks, especially the new generation.)

[@regul8or71]

The bass in this song. 😍

[@hillaryburdick9313]

The last time I heard this song was when I was a teenager. Now I’m back here more than a decade later after a major breakup, and these lyrics resonate with me more than ever! I love how the question “why?” Is asked over and over again in this song, and there is no easy answer. The only thing close to an answer is the lyrics in the second verse begging God to “hold me closer please”. Such a powerful song.

[@metraplayz2543]

i love the part of the song when it says "is a memory forsaken" just love it so much!!

[@St_Angler]

One of my favorite skillet songs

[@kupferfuchsyx3216]

Me before: Heard other Skillet Songs scrolls Suggestion List saw a Song by Skillet "Forsaken" had told herself ,,no not now maybe sometime..." Me Now: Hear this song and thinking: Why do I have this incredible Song always ignored?"

[@rezzistance1639]

Hopefully in their next album, they could release a banger like this. "Legendary" was okay, but to me it feels like another "Feel Invincible".
