I can’t get away from the memories
Of you and me together
They hurt, why did you have to leave me
Why couldn’t you stay, you could’ve talked to me
Told me what you were feeling
Told me what you were dealing with everyday
Now I can barely make it through a day without crying
I just barely manage to not go **** everyone who hurt you
The pain keeps me from trying to get to know people I meet
I’m afraid now, worried I’ll get hurt again
I really want to make an exit from this world
But I stay to live the life you couldn’t
I stay because I made a promise to you
I’m not sure you remember the promise after all it was both ways
I do though we both said we stay for each other
We both said we wouldn’t self harm ourselves anymore
I broke the self harm part
In all fairness though I broke it after you left
After you were gone I cried myself to sleep for a year
I paid the phone bill to hear your voice
I listened to your music
I went through the photos we took together
I watched the videos we did together
I went through all of our memories
I can’t let you go but your beginning to fade out
