Old Friends, Old Lifes Same Future
Old friends remind me of my old lifes
Different times in the years past
With different stories and different laughs
But with each chapter
I leave them fighting in the past
Thinking moving on is leaving everything behind
Realizing I can't bring them all with me
So I bring none of them
Reliving old dreams when our paths cross
And wondering why I don't know you anymore
You pretend like we are the same
But I can't contact to a life I swore to never live again
And I'm not the same person that held you when you cried
I'm not the girl that left you behind
I've changed to many times to count
And one day you will know you can't count on me
So I come to the place that holds most of my lives
Walking around surrounded by ghost in this desolate town
I smile and wave to my past and pretend I remember it
But this isn't going to work
This isn't what the world taught me
So I run away Haunted by memories and broken dreams
Friendships come and go. One thing stays the same
Me running from the comfort of the past
Yelling I can't live like this
Six months is my limit
Six months to pretend to be fixed
But in the end it's me running away with a suit case
For everything I wanted in those months was ruined so I start new
Instead of trying to fix a broken heart with industrial super glue
I start over with something new
The only problem is the scares are still there
The brakes haven’t heeled
And because I have never learned the right lesson from my past
I'm forced to relive it
Until I find the answer I always am searching for
Or it destroys me like countless times before
