You Will Remember Me

Lost inside myself,

Without you,

I feel my future slip away.

I sing myself a quiet lullaby,

But it doesn't mean anything

Now that you're gone.

I try to hide inside the pain;

The escape is laced

With the familiar taste

Of poison.

I'm banging on the door of an angel.

Everything's on fire.

It's all crashing down.

Can you hear me?

You shout, but I can't hear a word you say.

Your voice won't make a sound.

I watch myself fade away.

Feels like I'm the only one who's scared.

Will you stay?

Bring me peace?

Sing me to sleep?

Say you'll remember me.

If I close my eyes

And I can't find my way to you,

At least I can say that I've tried.

The sun is going down.

I've had enough.

Somebody make me feel alive.

I need a hero.

Is it you?

No.

We were always meant to say goodbye.

The moment you decide to let love in,

I want you to move on.

You lost the love I loved the most;

I love you enough to let you go.

I'm setting fire to the life that I know.

I can still remember feeling full of joy.

The answer can be found.

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone,"

But I'm already gone.

I can see the path that leads away.

Years of too much time wasted

In each line upon my face.

The scariest part is letting go.

I wish you well,

Even when the music's gone.

Fear not the missteps, take the falls,

Lay down your head and close your eyes.

You'll be alright.

The end of fear is

Where I love you.

Come morning light,

You can never hurt me again.
