Silhouette
Forgetting The Memories Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time when we were young
We were so caring at heart
This place where we grew up
Still burns in my heart

Do you remember my face?

I tried to fix this
I tried to piece it together
But it ends the same
It just ends the same again

I see no reflection
In this shattered world
I see a selfish man
Looking for redemption

I tried to speak in volume
My heart is too heavy with burden

I know
The pain is from within and not from you
I took the chance with the life I've liven
Now I'll never get a chance to be forgiven
Too low
I want to soar and feel the sky
I chained myself down to the ground
To this prison am I bound

We don't deserve this
We're torn apart
Torn apart
We don't deserve this

We wither away
In the breeze of their shadows
Tell me, was it really worth it?
Tell me, do you feel alive?

I see no reflection
In this shattered world
I see a selfish man
Looking for redemption

It has passed so many years
But it's all so clear to me

I know
The pain is from within and not from you
I took the chance with the life I've liven
Now I'll never get a chance to be forgiven
Too low
I want to soar and feel the sky
I chained myself down to the ground
To this prison am I bound

I chained myself down to the ground
To this prison am I bound

I see a selfish man
Lost

I am a selfish man
Lost, lost but never found
Never found





When we were young
We were so caring at heart
