Surrounded by the memories of you
Every breath I take reminds me of pain
Every poem I read, every picture I see
reminds me of our dances in the rain
So why can I not forget?

Surrounded by the carvings from you
The scars on my pale white skin
The places where I tried to tare you out
reminds me of the past I could not win
So why can I not forget?

I see the photographs of you
I see the words I once wrote down
But nothing compares to the monuments I made
in my skin to erase the pain of being thrown around...

Surrounded by the memories of you
Every day you act as if nothing went wrong
Every time I look at you I remember it
reminds me of the time you felt like I didn't belong
So why can I not forget?

Surrounded by the consequences of you
The cravings for just one last drink
The constant battle I face trying to avoid a relapse
reminds me of all those nights I couldn't think
So why can I not forget?

I see the drawings of you
I see the pain in my mother's eyes
But nothing compares to the monuments I made
in my skin to fill the need to erase the lies...

So why can I not forget about my love
About the man that ripped me apart
About the pills I took with the alcohol
About the slits I made to try and stop my heart...
