I always forget my lyrics, so welcome to the show. - Darren Criss

It is somewhat a trademark of Darren Criss to forget the lyrics to songs that he has written. When he sings covers, he knows every single word, but when it comes to his own songs, he always forgets a verse or two.

I like this characteristic, because it shows me that he doesn't take himself too seriously, that he is still down-to-earth. He never forgets the lyrics to Not Alone or The Coolest Girl though, because these two songs are the one that speaks to people the most, and it is also the message that he wants people to receive the clearest.

I really like this trait in him, and his fans are always there to provide the forgotten verse anyway.
