A Faded Memory

I know I tried
To bide my time
But now what I had
Is no longer mine
And I don't think
I'll ever get it back
It's like sand
Slipping between my hands

The innocence of younger years
The naivete that turned into these fears
With the screams you threw at me
You pierced something deep
Seeping through the wounds you made
You left me to bleed

Now I'm just a faded memory
I gave up all the greatest parts of me
And what's left
Is no good
I know I gave away morе than I should
Now I'm just a faded memory
Not worth remеmbering

Missing the ones that you replaced
I'm forced to face the thoughts you made
Now the feeling never leaves me
Always in a messed up state
No trust
No love
Now I build more walls
To keep everybody else out

Pieces of me left in memory
A severance between who I was and who I'll be
And currently I'm crawling up from beneath
This grave you made for me

Now I'm just a faded memory
I gave up all the greatest parts of me
And what's left
Is no good
I know I gave away more than I should
Now I'm just a faded memory
Not worth remembering

These pieces of me left in memory
And I'm in the severance between
Who I was and who I'll be

The innocence of younger years
The naivete that turned into these fears
With the screams you threw at me
You pierced something deep
Seeping through the wounds you made
You left me to bleed

Now I'm just a faded memory
I gave up all the greatest parts of me
And what's left
Is no good
I know I gave away more than I should
Now I'm just a faded memory
Not worth remembering
