Forgotten from Short Stories by Jessica Rhaye
This is the first time I have ever recorded a composition that is not mine. Forgotten, a song about a painful break-up, belongs to Asif Illyas, the front man & principle songwriter for the group Mir. I was co-writing with Asif when he presented this song to me & I connected with it instantly. I’m a huge fan of Asif’s writing; he has a great ability to express his feelings
through his songs.

Lyrics
Forgotten
Verse 1
I wrapped my arms
around your world
I feel it now
I feel it now
the desert sun
the arctic rain
won’t burn the crowds
or freeze the shame
Chorus
all my worlds collide now and you are forgotten
so take me to a place that I have never been before
no one knows the reason that you have forgotten
but does it matter?
does it matter?
Verse 2
you’re down so low
to reach so high
it’s in your eyes
it’s in your eyes
does liberation feel good?
at the cost of love
only for a time
only for a time
