Walking wistfully across the street, I cannot let go of the memories The unending view in front of me, The speeding cars, Once it was the place that I called my home, Once it was the place I knew was safe Tracking the rough steps poured in the pavement, There was time before, that the curiosity devolved my guts There are painful sightings that I could not forget Still there was not even a day that didn’t fill me with regret, The burden of the knowledge is still burning in my blood I know that solving the mystery was not the thing that I was after I sense my trembling body, and it occurred to me, I knew that the danger was still within reach There was a shame in my eyes, I knew why, but I couldn’t tell, The pain was unbearable to carry on, I had to let go, the danger I assumed, Was not the one I feared? It was a danger of me getting too close, To the place I once called home, but not anymore

What holds you back? I know I need to let go, The real reason I live in the past, The main reason that keeps me back There's a piece of me, I am afraid to lose, There's a piece of me that defined what I was, The fog surrounds me, I can't see my way out, it's too late, There's a piece of me that I have not lost, That piece that stops me from moving on, The main reason I keep searching for The rays of the sun, Is the glimpse of pain that makes me move, I'm scared of what might happen, The scattered pages of my life I sense that silence that surrounds me The peaceful view of what I could've achieved, The scattered dreams I forgot There's a piece of me that still recalls, There's a piece of me that still longs, For the happily ever after, For the day i'd have the guts To fulfill what was written In those scattered pages that once were my dreams.
