Hollow Rose

Outside for the first time,been a long time, since I could tell myself I'm alright

Memories fade, have a shelf life, so I'll be alright, don't have the urge to think of you these nights.

I'll be just fine(yea I'm just fine)

I'd never think that'd be our last summer

To think we took each other for granted

So much contempt for each other

Were we really off that bad??

Walking through these empty streets

Searching for the parts of me I lost along the way

Every corner holds a ghost of who I used to be

But I'm learning how to face who I used to be

Reeling from the feelings of my past self but still self teaching

Every mistake's a lesson that I needed to learn

The pain becomes my teacher when my world stops reaching

For the bridges that I watched burn

In the silence of the night

When World feels out of sight

I find pieces of my light

In the darkness I ignite

These guitar strings know my name

They remember all my pain

But they're teaching me to change

Nothing ever stays the same

Lessons in memories resurface through the vibrations of my guitar strings

Every note's a story that I'm finally brave enough to tell

Music speaks the language that my broken heart sings

Pulling me back from this personal hell

Outside for the first time,been a long time, since I could tell myself I'm alright

Memories fade, have a shelf life, so I'll be alright, don't have the urge to think of you these nights.[Repeat x2]

I'd never think that'd be our last summer

To think we took each other for granted

So much contempt for each other

Were we really off that bad??

Yeah your face used to hunt me in my sleep

But I'm learning how to close my eyes

The nightmares that I used to keep

Are fading like your alibis

As I pretend, I'll be okay once your image fades away

But let's be real that's wishful thinking and thinking is intangible

My true wish is to realize my worth

To find the strength I had since birth

Hidden underneath the hurt

I'm digging through this mental dirt

To plant the seeds of something new

A version of myself that's true

These empty streets don't feel so cold

When I remember what I'm worth

Every scar's a story that I need not hold

A testament to my rebirth

The strings still vibrate with my pain

But now they harmonize with hope

I'm learning how to ease my strain

And finally learning how to cope

Outside for the first time,been a long time, since I could tell myself I'm alright

Memories fade, have a shelf life, so I'll be alright, don't have the urge to think of you these nights.[Repeat x2]

I'd never think that'd be our last summer

To think we took each other for granted

So much contempt for each other

Were we really off that bad??

Walking through these empty streets

But now I'm walking towards what's right for me

The pattern's shattered,now I'm complete

And everything will be alright
