Memories of the old you
The smile of the old you flashes through my mind
It's hard to believe that I was just so blind
Memories haunt like the everlasting smell of cigarette smoke
I feel like this could be just one big, scary joke
The bad version of you starts to over-rule the good one
I feel I just need to getaway, and run
I don't think I can handle this pain anymore
I just want to be happy, I don't care if I'm rich or poor
I'm scared and alone, I don't know what to do
Whatever happened to the real you
I feel so confused and lost
I never knew trusting you had a cost
I used to be so happy and fearless
I miss being innocent and tearless
Because of you I struggle to trust
Pain lingers inside of me like old, dirty dust
You taught me monsters weren't under my bed
They're inside of your cold soul instead
