Live On
Innocence ran off and then was lost
Use your forget medicine, but at a terrible cost
Tried to be your savior, yet I was losing myself too
Forgave myself for giving up; in the end it was up to you
Sadly most memories of her bring sorrow
She told me never to give up just as she gave in
Live in today and forget the worries of tomorrow
You faded away, and I fell into the dark blue
Now at peace that it was up to you
Clouded grey with a few rays of sun
You got caught in the thorns, and your problems won
Memories of such sorrow
Try and forget the worries of tomorrow
Both so haunted by deep thinking and soft hearts
Draining us day and night, slow motion tear apart
I’ve made it through so much, and you’ve become long gone
Your death broke the fog in my head; you helped me live on
