I had forgotten
The way it felt to smile
I let the memory fade
I haven't felt anything for a while
But worst of all I felt sorry for myself
This is what brought me back from the dead
I had forgotten to breathe
And had suffocated in my self pity instead
I had forgotten that I am not the only one
To feel lost and out of place
I think I forgot
That this life isn't a race
I let it slip my mind
That we're all in this together
That we stand as one
And suffer the same weather
I know I forgot the good things in life
Because I focus so much on the pain
I forgot about the sun
Because I always watched the rain
I lost myself in the dark
When the light was right behind me
I forgot to open my eyes
So I could see
Until I felt it inside
The music filled my soul
I felt it fill me up
Making me whole
I think I spent all this time sleeping
And now I've woken up
I forgot about fighting
And spent so much time giving up
Until I found the surface
Now I can breathe
