I Remain In Chains

Silent echoes fill the room, scars that never fade

Whispers of the past still linger, memories we've made

Trying to let go, to find some peace inside

But every reminder hits like a tide

Pictures of us, they haunt my mind

A painful imprint, not so easily left behind

I want to forgive, I want to move on

But the weight of what’s lost feels so strong

Unwanted echoes, shadows in the night

Remind me I will never be alright

I’ll never forget, no matter how I try

The wounds run deep, they never truly die

We’ll never heal as one, the cracks too wide

Still I want to forgive but I can’t hide

Financial ties that bind, debts I can’t forget

Silent battles, the tears I’ve never shed

Promises broken, trust long gone

How do I move forward when the pain lingers on?

I want to forgive, I want to forget

But the past’s a curse I can’t just unset

Unwanted reminders, they cut so deep

A wound that’s not allowed to sleep

I’ll never forget, no matter how I try

The wounds run deep, they never truly die

We’ll never heal as one, the cracks too wide

Still I want to forgive but I can’t hide

(Talking bit)

Sometimes I wonder if forgiveness is a trap

Holding onto pain, trapped in a loop of the past

Maybe healing means letting go completely

But the scars say otherwise, they speak so clearly

I’ll never forget, no matter how I try

The wounds run deep, they never truly die

We’ll never heal as one, the cracks too wide

Still I want to forgive but I can’t hide

So I stand here, torn between hope and regret

Knowing some wounds are not meant to forget
