My life fades, the vision dims

All that remains are memories

I remember a time of chaos

Riven dreams, this wasted land

I remember

It can make me want to sit down and cry

Everything we'll ever be has to die

Everything we ever were is dead

I cannot believe what I've had

It can make me want to turn around

I don't want to be lost and not found

Everything that I lose, it just turns me upside down

Whatever I did on the way

To becoming myself here today

All the skins that I shed like a snake

Have turned the same

I could not feel me, I could not be me

'Cause I realize I can't be just what I used to be

If I could only bring it back forever

If I could only bring it back forever

If I could only bring me back forever, forever

(You don't know just what it means to me)

I could never go back to be the way I used to be, believe me

(Deep inside, I think it's killing me)

I could live, I could die, I could pray, I could try to be me

But I can't be me

I remember me as a child

Now my fantasy is running wild

Like a smell or a taste from the past

This reminds me of me

Everything that I used to do

I was so small, everything was new

I never knew what I'd grow up into

I remember the fear and the pain

I remember the joy just the same

I remember myself like a frame from days gone by

I could not feel me, I could not be me

'Cause I realize I can't be just what I used to be

If I could only bring it back forever

If I could only bring it back forever

If I could only bring me back forever, forever

(You don't know just what it means to me)

I could never go back to be the way I used to be, believe me

(Deep inside, I think it's killing me)

I could live, I could die, I could pray, I could try to be me

But I can't be me

If I could bring it back forever

I've tried and tried to ease the pain

Now I'm gone and I cannot come home again

Where's the memory boy that I used to be?

Everything that I lost, I never wanted to lose me

It eats me up like a battery pack

Never wanted to leave, now I can't come back

Never felt it before but I feel it here today

I want to make it stay, but the memories fade away

Fade away, fade away

Away, away, away, away

Away, away, away
