[Verse 1]
I stand here face to face
With someone that I used to know
Who used to look at me and laugh
But now he claims
That he's known me for so very long
But I remember being no one
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
[Chorus]
Do you remember now?
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it!
'Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
[Verse 2]
Did you know me?
Or were you too preoccupied with
Playing king in your small kingdom?
And now the real world
Has stripped you of your royalty
And from your kingdom you're evicted
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
[Chorus]
Do you remember now?
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it!
'Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me
[Bridge]
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
[Chorus]
Do you remember now?
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it!
'Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me
I stand here face to face
With someone that I used to know
Who used to look at me and laugh
But now he claims
That he's known me for so very long
But I remember being no one
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
[Chorus]
Do you remember now?
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it!
'Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
[Verse 2]
Did you know me?
Or were you too preoccupied with
Playing king in your small kingdom?
And now the real world
Has stripped you of your royalty
And from your kingdom you're evicted
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
[Chorus]
Do you remember now?
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it!
'Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me
[Bridge]
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
[Chorus]
Do you remember now?
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it!
'Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me
