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)
[Repeat x2]
[Passionate screaming]
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]
[Passionate screaming]
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]
[Passionate screaming]
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
