Summary: A quiet confrontation for those who forget who held them up.​ Genre: Alt/Indie Rock, Pop-Soul

Carried You (Don’t Forget) is a quiet confrontation - a reminder to the ones who made it big but forgot who held them up when they had nothing.

It’s about being the backbone behind someone else’s shine, the one who answered every late-night call, wiped every tear, and never asked for credit - until the silence became too loud.

For everyone who’s ever been written out of their own contribution... this song is your voice.
You carried them. Don’t let them forget.

🎧 Part of my "Songs I Wrote at 3AM" live performance series on YouTube/TikTok.

Lyrics included below:

Verse 1
I remember when
You’d call me at 2AM
Sayin’ you needed a hand
Dropped everything I had planned

I picked up the phone
Every time you hit my line
Gave you a new song to sing
Now you're up, acting brand new

Pre - hook 1
You can hide
You can switch up
But we both know who built you

Lie to the world
Keep your spotlight
Don’t change who lit your flame

Hook
Carried you
Don’t forget
Know the truth
Don’t you dare

Verse 2
I recall the fears
All those nights I caught your tears
I was there through every storm
Loved you through your every wrong
Now you changed your tone
Changed your story, changed your crew
Used to be "us," now it’s just you
You don’t say it — but it shows

Pre - hook 2
You can pretend
Try to silence all I gave
But your shadow knows the past/ who held you

Erase my name
Replace my face
Won't erase my sacrifice

Hook
Carried you
Don’t forget,
Know the truth
Don’t you dare

Bridge (Alternative)
I stayed in the dark
While you soaked up every light
Never asked for my shine
Just watched you take flight
Actin’ like I never paved the way

Take the stage
Take the praise
But the cost was mine to pay

Take the creds
Reap rewards
Can’t rewrite my legacy

You forgot the roots
When they cheered what you became

I never called you out
’Cause I don’t play that game
But they all know I...

Hook
Carried you
Don’t forget, yet
Know the truth
Don’t you dare, dare forget
