Lyrics of Forget About It by All Time Low
intro
One, two, three
verse
You are a hand full of roses
Thorns in a cheap bouquet
True, I′m a walking disaster
They told you to stay away
pre-chorus
Seems like I'm making a deal with the devil who′s whispering softly to me
"Are you sure that she's the one?"
chorus
'Cause I feel like a bad joke
Walk the tight rope to hold on to you
Was it real?
Or a love scene from a bad dream?
I don′t think I can forget about it
verse
You are a shining example
Of why I don′t sleep at all
T-t-t-too many sheep on the brain
To make sense of a late night call
pre-chorus
Talking in circles and chasing a tale of a love drunk distant memory
Am I sure that she's the one?
chorus
′Cause I feel like a bad joke
Walk the tight rope to hold on to you
(Gotta know) Was it real?
Or a love scene from a bad dream?
I don't think I can forget about it
(Gotta know, was it real?)
bridge
You know, there are some days
When I really feel like this could work
Like you and I are finally gonna get it right
Then there are days like today
When you make me wanna tear my fucking hair out
chorus
′Cause I feel like a bad joke (like a bad joke)
Walk the tight rope to hold on to you
(Gotta know) Was it real?
Or a love scene from a bad dream?
I don't think I can forget about it
hook
I feel just like a bad joke, whoa
Gotta know, was it real?
(Waking up from a bad dream) From a bad dream
I don′t think I can forget about it
outro
So just forget about it
So just forget
Writer(s): Alexander William Gaskarth, John Randall Fields
