Tear Stained Memories
With each tick of the clock
I’m reminded more of you
What should be distant memories
Still tear my heart in two
With each thought of you
I fall a lil deeper in
Life without you hurts too much
I don’t know where to begin
Everyone just says move on
Leave the painful memories
Just start all over again
It’ll be better eventually
But with each passing day
I stay lost inside my mind
My escape seems impossible
No matter how hard I try
These tear stained memories
Just can’t be washed away
No matter what I do
The pain just doesn’t fade
I tell myself to be strong
But letting go isn’t easy
Just can’t seem to forget
These tear stained memories
With each passing minute
I hope the pain will fade
Hoping somehow the sunrise
Will make it all go away
Maybe with each tear I wipe
It will be one less memory
And then all these thoughts
Will be forgotten eventually
