Remember the Day

I've waited much too long
To settle for anything less
Days filled with pain and hunger
Nights filled with tears and unrest
It was all a dream
It was all a nightmare
It was anything but how it all seemed
Sweaty palms and dripping hands
Opened the door
To my undoing

So I'll look toward the West
And remember the day
Of when I didn't know anything
And I'll tell myself
You'll know better one day...

Here I am on this February snow day
Remembering that snow day
Six years ago
Little did we know we were destined for failure
The cold ran deeper than the snow
I look on those days with grief and wonder
How did we last that 2012 summer
It was all a mirage of self-sabotage
Thinking we would come out unbothered

So I'll look toward the West
And remember the day
Of when I didn't know anything
And I'll tell myself
You'll know better one day...
