I’ve been dreaming while I’m awake
Thinking maybe I could erase...

You’ve been sleeping through the days
Just pretending you’re okay

And maybe, that, you are
I wouldn’t know, we’ve grown so far apart

...the thought of what was lost
I start to feel, I start to know

That maybe I’m better off
Being someone you forgot

Do you remember all you said?
I fear it’ll haunt me until I’m dead

If it’s over, let it be
I don’t want the memory

With all the letters I never sent
I’ll tell you this is what I meant:

I don’t wanna be in your memory

~

“Me oh my, I’m gonna die”
— A thought I’ve had since I was a kid
What would happen if I cease to exist?
Will my memory go with it?
Or will it live on with my next of kin?

A life isolated by a lover’s eyes
I shield myself to keep the pain inside
It’s spilling out, can’t stop it this time
Like the regret at my parents’ side

I must admit
I cannot lie
Memories have their own lifetime
