The memories we hold onto

[epic entry]
[Intro]
Memories fade but they echo loud,In the corners of our minds, lost in the crowd. (Lost in the crowd) Echoes of a love I can't forget-FORGET.Shadows of regret, haunting me yet
we Talk circles 'bout the past, can't let it go, no.Why do we hold on so tight, when it's time to grow? ( when it’s time to grow?)[Verse 1]
You told me to forget, to leave behind the tears, (tears)Showed me pictures of them all, through the years.Say the past's a ghost, a weight we shouldn't bear,But you keep the mementos, like they're treasures rare.
Your album of us, old lovers and your smile,
Holding hands, kissing, those moments lingered awhile. (Awhile-awhile-awhile)
You say I shouldn't dwell, that I should move ahead,But your files tell a different story, you keep them instead. ( why do you keep them)
[break down][Pre-Chorus]Isn't it strange how we can shield, how we can hide?
Yet the evidence keeps piling, memories filing. You say to let go, but show me the keepers,Pictures of us, your past lovers, and soul seekers. ( keepers,seekers,wanters)
[Verse 2]Thinking back on all we've been through.A tangled mess of me and you
Why did it have to end this way?Lost in the words I couldn’t say(Why did it have to end this way?Lost in the words I couldn’t say)
[Chorus]Don't tell me to forget when you're holding on tight,Snapping at me, fighting every night.You say I bring the past but you're frozen in time,Two sides of a coin, your truth, your crime.Holding onto memories, but don’t deny,The past prints itself in your teary eyes.Let go, let flow, or hold on for more,What’s real, what’s forgotten, behind closed door (your lies)
[Bridge]innocent or not You shout 'cheater,' but I see a lot Of what you hide, what you conceal.We're playing a game, but who’s really real? ( really real )[verse 3]It's funny how we see through different eyes
Holding onto memories, telling lies
You preach letting go, but keep a stash
Of moments frozen in the past's cache
[Pre-Chorus]I saw my faults, the pain I caused Feeling so lost, breaking all of us
What if I could turn back time?Change my heart, make you mine[Verse 4]You said delete, forget the past tonight,But your album's full of faces, love and tears
Old lovers, moments, all your souvenirs
[solo][Chorus]Cause I loved you, more than words could show Even through the storms, I never let go,Cherishing moments, both good and bad Wishing I could fix what I once had
[Pre-Chorus]You say I bring the past into our space But your walls are filled, you hide your face Pointing fingers, judgments loud
But in your album, there's a crowd
[solo melody] [Bridge]I'm scared to be vulnerable now Fear of judgment, wondering howTo open up and let you see
The real me behind the fear(To open up and let you see The real me)[Chorus]Not letting go, holding tight to what's gone The past’s a shadow that lingers on You tell me to forget, erase, move on But your photos scream, you’re holding on[fade out][Outro]Losing you a part of me died but i will rise 

Deep emo emotions: fading in and out with highs and lows. Echos of crying with background screams
