My past haunts me.
I don’t even like to sleep anymore
’Cause when I close my eyes,
Every face,
Every life I interrupted,
Every soul I shattered
Comes flashing back in the dark.

I’ve learned to live with it,
But I’ll never forget it.
I can’t break any more hearts

Not when I still hear the ones I broke
Beating in the silence.

The trail of tears I left behind
Revisits me nightly,
And I walk it alone.
