Sitting in the dark, I can't forget Even now, I realize the time I'll never get Another story of the bitter pills of fate I can't go back again I can't go back again But you asked me to love you and I did Traded my emotions for a contract to commit And when I got away, I only got so far The other me is dead I hear his voice inside my head We were never alive And we won't be born again But I'll never survive With dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart You told me to love you, and I did Tied my soul into a knot And got me to submit So when I got away, I only kept my scars The other me is gone Now I don't know where I belong We were never alive, And we won't be born again But I'll never survive With dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart Dead visions in your name Dead fingers in my veins Dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart Dead memories in my heart
