Ghosts I Can't Release

Echoes of a fallen name, shadows linger, pain remains

Can't escape your ghost, it haunts my every step

Broken on the floor, scars I’ll never forget

Damage deep within, a wound that won't mend

Betrayal's bitter taste, a love that betrayed my sense

Why did you wield the knife, leave me bleeding in the night?

Forgiveness in my heart, yet I still fear your spite

Stay away, I need to breathe, but you're still in my mind

Hurt beyond repair, love's cruelest kind

Bruised and alone, questioning the reason why

Shame in your eyes, but I won't deny

Do you feel shame? Do you feel the pain you gave?

Lost in the silence, craving my own space

Forgiven but distant, scars beneath the skin

A battle between the love you had and the love you win

Stay away, I need to breathe, but you're still in my mind

Hurt beyond repair, love's cruelest kind

Bruised and alone, questioning the reason why

Shame in your eyes, but I won't deny

Broken and battered, trying to let go

Hurt that lingers, shadows in the snow

Stay away, I must find my way

Free from your ghosts, new dawns await
