Skillet - Forsaken Lyrics






I recall going madly in love with you
And I remember this
How could I forget?
Regret is a needle
In my neck
It's slowly filling me
With poison
Spreading to my chest

Take my pain and numb me from this

Why do I have to beg
When all that's left
Is a memory
Forsaken [2x]

I recall pledging my sole devotion to you
It reminds me how
Now I'm on my knees
My guilt consumes
Lost the will in me
Wasting away before you
Hold me closer please

Take my pain and numb me from this

Why do I have to beg
When all that's left
Is a memory
Forsaken [2x]

Yeah, yeah, yeah
You break me

Forsake
You break me [2x]

You're breaking me

I recall going madly in love with you
And I remember this... Tell me

Why do I have to beg
When all that's left
Is a memory
Forsaken [2x]

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Forsaken
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me why, why, why, why

  1. I.... t....

    Collide and Comatose are the best! I love jen as a person and drummer but the songs aren’t as good anymore which isn’t totally her fault

  6. P.... G....

    I've been listening to Skillet on-and-off for a few years, but I haven't heard that many songs where John screams. Other than Sick of It and this song, what other songs does he scream in?

    P.... G....

    E.... W....

    Agree. He doesn’t scream, I think it started going downhill when jen and Seth joined it’s. It their fault it’s Johns. He kinda gave up after that

    4 The resistance
    5 Out of hell

  35. e.... p....

    raye ann, u are a good christian. god bless. i= love god

  36. A.... L....

    Easily the best Skillet song ever released, I honestly like their unpopular songs more than most of their super well known a ones, but there's so many that don't get deserved attention, so many of their songs should be more successful, like Madness In Me, Dead Inside, Falling Inside The Black, Burn It Down, Saviors Of The World, Cycle Down, Its Not Me Its You, Fire And Fury, Would It Matter, Fingernails, Imperfection, Energy, Hard to Find, Don't Wake Me, One Day Too Late, Everything Goes Black, Believe, Should've When You Could've, Never Surrender, and Live Free Or Let Me Die.

  37. A.... B....

    Cool song. I like it

  38. C.... M....

    in my opinion, Collide was the band's peak
    Don't we all love the 90s

  39. d.... p....

    skillet are music artist and understand the pane that life throws at you

  40. R.... A....

    I'm really here for my project "Phill" O_o

  41. R.... A....

    To all my brothers and sisters through Christ, feel free to post whatever you like ;3

  42. A.... ....

    What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

  43. J.... ....

    me encante

  44. G.... S....

    Atelophobia: Fear of not being good enough.

  45. w.... i....

    I think this is one of Skillet's darkest songs.

    w.... i....

    Not really......

    w.... i....

    Fingernails is darker

  46. S.... R....

    This song is a BEAST!

  47. M.... ....

    Awesome song.

  48. D.... ....

    Dude make a 1 hour version

    D.... ....

    well cause its good
    music

  49. I.... a....

    I loveee this song so much

  50. A.... ....

    One of my favorite skillet songs

  51. S.... P....

    Merci AragornPk10 pour ton travail continue !!!!

  52. P.... M....

    to this day i still feel this was their best work. it is certainly their heaviest and darkest album as far as lyrical content and mood. open wounds is a banger as well..

    P.... M....

    Peter Marsh this album is absolutely their best work because it's before they sold out but yet when they were just catching fire

    P.... M....

    "Sold out"

  53. M.... E....

    nice music! ♥

  54. M.... ....

    I'm not quite sure what it is, but something just feels "off" about this song. Maybe its the rhythm, or John screaming all the lyrics...but it just rubs me the wrong way. I admire the song's message though, since I've felt forsaken by God on many occasions. I guess I'm wondering where the hope is in the song, since most of Skillet's stuff (at least since "Awake") has balanced both despair and hope.

    M.... ....

    Moviefan2k4 it's Christan

    M.... ....

    thats why i like the song so much. and great message

    M.... ....

    Moviefan2k4 you have never been forsaken by god

    M.... ....

    Moviefan2k4 no one has

    M.... ....

    Gots a weird time stamp.

  55. P.... F....

  65. S.... S....

    So, what if i could make me, sonic, shadow, and XR. So I'll put Nightmares with "Forsaken" from skillet on next wednesday.

  66. S.... S....

    At least they don't put those cursing words. Because I love this song :)

    S.... S....

    they're a christian band, of course they won't curse.

    S.... S....

    Skillets a Christian Band actually, so all they're music is clean :)

  67. a.... h....

    wow its' amazing

  68. G.... V....

    Skillet is the best band ever <3

  69. L.... ....

    Why do I have to beg when all thats left is a memory forsaken?

  70. D.... ....

    This was the first song I heard by Skillet.

  71. J.... I....

    Skillet is the only group that  has ever been successful in disguising christian rock as something cool

    J.... I....

    you are correct and they are amazing live

    J.... I....

    +Jadaya Indigo same message just in a beat you happen to agree with

    J.... I....

    Red, Decyfer Down, Sent By Ravens, Thousand Foot Krutch, Nine Lashes, Underoath, Pillar, Ashes Remain, Disciple, Memphis May Fire, and Anberlin (among others)...

    All I'm saying is they aren't the ONLY ones 😉

    J.... I....

    Jadaya Indigo found the 10 yr old

  72. J.... H....

    AWESOME!!!

  73. B.... G....

    I've literally been here for an hour or so just downloading Skillet songs.

    REALLY GREAT ARTISTS! Love these songs.

  74. P.... R....

    After SlipKnot this is just nothing -_-

    P.... R....

    @Pain Rinnegan Screw you

    P.... R....

    I love Slipknot I've been a fan for 5 years but don't compare it to an another gender of music slipknot is heavy metal or nu metal skillet is softer shit ok thank you

    P.... R....

    I've listened to them their not that good skillet is better

    P.... R....

    +Pain Rinnegan Let's see, Skillet which is a Christian Rock/Metal band with other influences and Slipknot which is the sound of the apocalypse? Completely different bands, friend.

  75. K.... S....

    FORSAKEN!

  76. J.... W....

    This song sucks. The lyrics are garbage. The best part is the guitar. Wanna fight about it?

    J.... W....

    Yeah, me.

    J.... W....

    Bad job at trolling.

    J.... W....

    I'm not, i'm serious.

    J.... W....

    I know I was talking about Jake. He really thinks that we care what he thinks about skillet. I know I don't. They are better than most of the music out there today.

    J.... W....

    Oh, sorry. And I have to agree.

  77. J.... ....

    Look. Just because Skillet is a Christian band, doesn't mean we have to talk about religion on their videos. Besides, you don't have to be Christian to like their songs. John even said that. Let's just listen to some awesome music. \m/

    J.... ....

    We are free. We can talk about Jesus, music, lyrics, religion.. . What's the problem?

    J.... ....

    I am An Atheist.. I like Bands of Any Type OF Rock Music.....

    J.... ....

    i think we should talk about religion but it should be in a respectful way

    J.... ....

    But they are a Christian band so us Christians are going to talk about Jesus and God on their videos. You can't have a Christian band and expect no one to mention Jesus or God.

  78. t.... w....

    My favorite album by skillet is the comatose album.

    t.... w....

    Collide is my favorite album

  79. t.... w....

    OMG! Skillet is awesome!!!

  80. O.... ....

    Ouch I feel kinda bad for john. I wonder how his voice was after this ? Lol

  81. k.... c....

    I KNOW RIGHT! >:O

  82. D.... L....

    omg! love this song! :D

  83. L.... F....

    I'm yours God

    L.... F....

    U r not a god thar is only 1 GOD

  84. M.... G....

    Your breaking MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    M.... G....

    Michael Garzon chills everytime!

  85. G.... ....

    Put 'Points of Authority' intro on this song's intro...
    Ta-dah,you get a mashup...

  86. o.... c....

    skillet's best song

  87. T.... ....

    I recall going madly in love with you
    And I remember this
    How could I forget?

    Regret is a needle in my neck
    It's slowly filling me with poison
    Spreading to my chest

    Take my pain and numb me from this

    Chorus:
    Why do i have to beg when all that's left
    Is a memory forsaken [2x]

    v2:
    I recall pledging my sole devotion to you
    It reminds me how now i'm on my knees
    my guilt consumes,
    lost the will in me
    wasting away before you
    hold me closer please

    take my pain and numb me from this

    Why do i have to beg
    when all thats left
    is a memory forsaken [2x]

    Bridge:
    Forsake
    You break me
    Forsake
    You break me
    Your breaking me

    I recall going madly inlove with you
    And I remember this

    Tell me why do I have to beg
    When all thats left
    Is a memory forsaken [2x]

    Tell me why
    Why [3x]

    I would appreciate it if this wasnt a lyric video

  88. E.... T....

    No matter who you are unless your vocal cords suck screaming a lot on 1 album is not going to ruin your voice. And Rise is my favorite Skillet album

    E.... T....

    @Owlgirl12 what?

    E.... T....

    Idk now I don't remember why I put that there. . Btw thee are the same youtube accounts lol .

    E.... T....

    Evil Toad Shut the fuck up
    This album is the best
    It's the heaviest and raw one
    Rise is for babies and it sucks
    There are 3 songs that like being Rise,Circus for a Psycho and Freakshow.
    Where in this album I like all songs
    AND SOME OF THEM ARE EXCELLENT

    E.... T....

    Black Skull Official Woah there, egdeboi. No need to insult him.

    E.... T....

    Collide is my favorite, but Rise is pretty good too

  89. E.... T....

    Ok seriously YouTube? The stupid NBA finals ad that you can't skip that says "this is better than whatever you were going to watch" KILL IT WITH FIRE! I DONT WANT TO WATCH THE NBA FINALS SO STOP PLAYING THOSE STUPID ADDS! >:O

    E.... T....

    They need to have money to maintain the website, you know.

    E.... T....

    Adblock

    E.... T....

    SOO FUCKING ANNOYING!!
    GOD HELP ME

  90. E.... T....

    Man this song got some HEAVY in it

    E.... T....

    Ikr lol

    E.... T....

    I like it :)

    E.... T....

    amen to that brother, a-fuckin'-men. \m/

    E.... T....

    +Evil Toad Check out Energy or Fingernails, Collide album sure is heavy not like radio-rock Awake. Alien Youth also has some heavy tunes on there.

    E.... T....

    Yeah, Alien Youth and Collide are pretty heavy albums. That's what makes them great
    Comatose and Awake are basically just watered down versions of Collide

  91. d.... a....

    Regret is a needle in my neck It's slowly filling me with poison, spreading to my chest Take my pain And numb me from this
