Only A Memory

I can’t help but close my eyes for life And dream a different ending When I wake I won’t be so exhausted And I’ll stop with my pretending That I’m fine, I’m fine if I can fool myself tonight And my lie will drown out all of yours I will not bend until I break How much can one bruised body take? Just not enough to silence me You’re only a memory I’ll scream these words ‘til they come true Then I will think no more of you Look back on what I’m going through This isn’t my identity You will bleed for what your hands have done You can’t outrun your ending And I’ll get well long before you let yourself I may forgive you but you never will I will not bend until I break How much can one bruised body take? Just not enough to silence me You’re only a memory I’ll scream these words ‘til they come true Then I will think no more of you Look back on what I’m going through This isn’t my identity And I told you, I told you, you had no right How damaged you must be Watch you panic, it’s tragic, you’ll carry this for life You have my sympathy I will not bend until I break How much can one bruised body take? Just not enough to silence me You’re only a memory I’ll scream these words ‘til they come true Then I will think no more of you Look back on what I’m going through This isn’t my identity You’re only a memory, this isn’t my identity I will not bend, I will not break This isn’t my identity
