Forget Anna is an emotive collaboration between Taylor Swift and Melanie Martinez, capturing the struggles of overcoming a painful past marked by bullying and a desire to shed the weight of old identities. With haunting melodies and poignant lyrics, this song resonates with anyone who longs to be free from the shadows of their former selves.
Verse 1:
I was just a girl, lost in the world,
But whispers turned to shouts, tearing me down,
Anna, they said, you’ll never make it,
Innocence burned, now I’m just ashes.
Chorus:
Forget Anna, let me go,
Erase the name, I won’t be your show,
The laughter fades, but the scars remain,
I’m climbing out, I’m breaking the chains.
Verse 2:
I wore my heart like a shattered glass,
Every glance, every laugh, left a mark that won’t pass,
But I’m through with the shadows, I’m rising anew,
No more the girl they bent and they chewed.
Chorus:
Forget Anna, let me go,
Erase the name, I won’t be your show,
The laughter fades, but the scars remain,
I’m climbing out, I’m breaking the chains.
Bridge:
Drowning in memories, but I'm learning to swim,
With every heartbeat, I’m shedding my skin,
I won’t bury the past, but I’ll lift up my head,
No more letting those bullies define who I am.
Chorus:
Forget Anna, let me go,
Erase the name, I won’t be your show,
The laughter fades, but the scars remain,
I’m climbing out, I’m breaking the chains.
Outro:
So here’s to the girl who was lost in the fray,
I’ll say goodbye to Anna, it’s a brand-new day,
Through the ashes, I’ll rise and I’ll shine,
I’m taking my power, it’s finally mine.
