Ever After - When You Forget My Name (Official Audio)

“When You Forget My Name” is another page. A song about beginning to say goodbye to someone who is still sitting beside you. About a father. A son. A doctor’s room. A hand held too tightly. And the kind of love that stays even when memory begins to leave. Some goodbyes do not happen all at once. Some people disappear slowly. And sometimes love becomes the one thing that still knows how to answer. Lyrics: There were frames behind the doctor Degrees in quiet rows A glass of water on the table Neither one of us could hold You kept your hand inside my fingers Like I was still the child But something in the room had shifted When he said it might take a while The door was only three steps from us But it felt like years away I heard the clock above us counting All the things we could not say You may forget the street we lived on You may forget the songs you knew You may ask me where the house is While I am standing next to you And I will hate the mercy Of every morning that you’re here Because I get to keep you living While you slowly disappear One day I’ll bring my child to meet you And say your grandson’s name You will smile like it matters Then ask me once again I will tell you I’m your son You will try to understand I will watch you search my face For something time already had You taught me how to walk once Now I’ll learn your slower pace You held the world steady Now I’ll hold it in your place You drove through rain to get me You left lights on down the hall You carried me from bedrooms When I was too young to recall You said, look at me, keep breathing When I was breaking in the dark Now I will say it back to you When the night forgets your heart You may forget the street we lived on You may forget the songs you knew You may look into my eyes And not know they came from you But I will not correct you Like love is something to restore One day you may not know my name But I will still answer to yours One day you may not know my name But I will still answer to yours The doctor closed the folder You did not say a word I helped you through the doorway Like you once held mine first Outside, the day kept moving Like it had not heard the news You asked me, are we going home? And I said, yes Me and you And somewhere behind that door The word dementia Learned my father’s name ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written and performed by Ever After. © 2026 Ever After.
