[Verse]

I never forget a face

That’s what they say

But in your case

I’ll let it slip away

Your smile’s a puzzle

Missing every piece

Your charm’s a riddle

But it’s lost its lease

[Chorus]

Glad to make an exception

Oh what a twist

Your name’s on the list

But it doesn’t exist

A face in the crowd I’d rather not see

You’re the kind of memory that sets me free

[Verse 2]

Your laugh’s like static on a broken wire

Your words are smoke

No spark

No fire

You’re a book with pages that won’t unfold

A story half-written and twice as cold

[Bridge]

So here’s to forgetting

Here’s to goodbye

I’ll raise a toast to the blink of an eye

Some faces linger

But yours will not

A fleeting shadow that time forgot

[Chorus]

Glad to make an exception

Oh what a twist

Your name’s on the list

But it doesn’t exist

A face in the crowd I’d rather not see

You’re the kind of memory that sets me free

[Verse 3]

Life’s too short for faces like yours

Closed doors and endless detours

So I’ll wave goodbye with a knowing grin

Erase the place where your face has been
