It tells how you can never escape your past because it will always come back to haunt you. |
I take the chance to look back All I see is nothing but black All the pictures are faded and worn Sometimes I wish I was never born Your love was all I seemed to need I only wish I could have been freed Running from these tough situations Always being shrouded by life’s frustrations I decided to forgive and forget But I ended up breaking out in a cold sweat I tried to be an optimist but you changed me to a pessimist Vividly dreaming of your sweet voice It had never been my choice Swimming within my pool of thoughts All you ever did was take shots Falling in your entrancing stare All I thought was that you were my answered prayer You said your love is what you sent Then you said it was not what you meant My love and myself is all that you got You told me my efforts were all for naught Blinded by my past your presence was all that I asked The person that used to inhabit this soulless form Was there in the calm right before the storm And in my passing into my new life I want to learn to forget about my strife And year after year watch all the fear disappear So at the end of the day while I look at a picture of me I can reflect and remember of how I used to be |
