Memories Now Forgotten


(I don't know why the ending got all jumbled up, sorry.)

 

You can't undo this

You can't get back what you've lost

You can't erase the past

You can't redeem yourself

 

I won't beat myself up anymore

I'm fucking done, done with everything

I'm done with this pain, this misery

I'm done living every day in agony

I'm fucking done waiting for a day

That I know will never come

Suffering day by day

Being torn apart

At the core of who I am

 

I'm done with this

Slogging through life

Faking every smile

Forcing every laugh

I'm done, I've given all I have to give

There's nothing left of me. 

 

This is my final goodbye

I won't come back

This is the end

 

This is the end of everything

Everything we had is crumbling

This home we built is falling to pieces

As I walk through the door

Leaving you and him to be buried

With the rest of our memories

 
If I had the chance
 
The chance to set back the clocks
 
The chance to put everything back
 
I wouldn't change a god damned thing
 
 
I'm going to be happy with my life
 
Happy with the choices I make
 
The people I leave behind, the memories I burn
 
Even if it means killing a part of myself
 
I will be happy again
 
 
You've seen the best in me
 
You know the worst parts of me
 
You know my hopes, my dreams
 
You know my fears and my pain
 
Now, know this:
 
You don't mean a fucking thing anymore
 
 
You were supposed to last
 
To be there until the end
 
You were supposed to be the one
 
Now I see you're just like the others
 
 
You tell me to move on
 
You tell me I'll be fine
 
You tell me that you know I'll pull through
 
That I'll be fine without you
 
I guess, in the end, you didn't know me 
 
Like you thought you did.
 
 
You can go fuck yourself
 
I'm leaving this behind
 
Everything we built
 
All the time spent
 
It will crumble, and fade away
 
You can't undo this, 
 
You can't get back what you've lost
