“If I Hadn’t Forgotten” Lyrics

If I Hadn’t Forgotten
KEATON SIMONS/JASON REEVES

All this time spent waiting for the storm
Stitching up the seams that had been torn
I don’t know how you endure the pain
If you feel the same

I don’t know what you’ve been dreamin’ of
If your heart is haunted by our love
I don’t know if you’ve tried movin’ on
But I can’t get past the way we left off

If I knew now
What I knew then
What we meant
If I’d held on
Through the hard times
If I’d done what I needed to make things right
I’d know love before I lost it

Tempted by the thrill of something new
Now I turn my lonely eyes on you
Promised you that we could have it all
You trusted me and I let you fall

If I knew now
What I knew then
What we meant
If I’d held on
Through the hard times
If I’d done what I needed to make things right
I’d know love before I lost it

I don’t like making promises
If I’m not sure I can keep them
No I don’t like making promises
If I’m not sure I can keep them

If I knew now
What I knew then
If I knew now
What I knew then
Then I’d know love before I lost it
I’d know love before I lost it
I’d know love before I lost it

THR: Didi and other American Idol alums weigh in on the X Factor

By Shirley Halperin and Fred Bronson, The Hollywood Reporter
 
What do the Idols like about X Factor and what do they hate? What were their expectations for the new Fox show and what do they think of the judges they know personally, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul? The Hollywood Reporter polled a number of former finalists to see what they thought of the newest talent competition series on the block and discovered that Idols have a wide range of opinions. Here’s what Didi had to say:
 
THR: What do you like about X Factor U.S.?
 
Didi: “I like that the judges are working with the kids and mentoring them, unlike on Idol. I think that is a great setup and it has to be more appealing for the contestants to know that there is someone gunning for you on the judging panel. It also makes for less confusion in a time where there is so much that’s new and unlike anything you’ve ever done before.”

 
THR: Your thoughts on the judges, especially Simon and Paula and what it’s like to see them on a different show…
 
Benami: “I like seeing Simon and Paula on a show together again, I think the on- camera chemistry they have is really something, and it seems to have only grown after their time on Idol. I love Paula, so I’m glad that she gets to do this again because she’s a sweetheart and is always positive, supportive, and really good for this sort of show. And I think Simon tends to be a lot nicer (as all of the judges are) off-camera than on.”
