Uplift this curse from me,
I don't want to go there anymore,
I want to move forward, live in the now,
My past is not a place to move around and about.

I pinch myself once, nay, twice at least,
I pinch myself everyday,
But the reality stays the same
I'm in the present, in the now
Still my past plays a cruel joke with my life's endless game.

It is another year, a better time
This is my moment to shine
New clothes, new hair, new boy
Still it is the same as last time
My feelings are my life's favourite toy.

I'm not a broken record,
Stop playing me on repeat;
I'm not your favourite song,
Stop singing it on and on;
I want to break this cycle,
I want to move on;
Stop blocking my path,
Let my life go on.

Eventhough he is buried deep,
His memories float on shore and never leave
He poisins my mind, my heart, my every need,
He's dead but he never leaves
He eats at my brain
And lives on in the name
Of present and takes the form
Of anything that matters most to me.

Break this curse at last!
Let me breathe for once!
Untie this knot that binds me to my past!
Let me free at last!

Somehow my life circles back to him
I begin where he ends,
Yet, I end up where I begin
He found a way to live on in another,
His ghost haunts me every night
He is gone, so stay gone!
Don't dare come back in another form!

When shall my troubled mind ease?
When shall I find my peace?
When will that new day begin?
When will I know my life has changed from within?
