Remember When
Shades Apart Lyrics

Reaching through the pain the real world sent your way
Even though the world sends pain your way, you're still trying to fight through it.

Problems you can't understand but still you have to fight
You may be facing problems that you can't fully comprehend, but you still need to fight through them.

It makes me proud inside to see you try so hard
Seeing you put forth effort to deal with your problems makes me proud.

It hurts to watch your struggle
Even though it's inspiring to watch you try so hard, it's also painful to see you struggle so much.

I can't tell you I know I'm right
I don't necessarily have all the answers or solutions to your problems.

No, I won't cry for you
I won't pity you, but rather provide support.

What you need is a place to turn
Instead of tears, you need someone you can turn to.

And I hope that you will fall on me
I'm here for you and hope you can rely on me for support.

'Cause I won't fall
I won't let you down and will stand strong for you.

Some people don't catch on they'd rather just pretend
Some people choose to ignore problems and pretend everything is okay.

While things are going smooth they smile and call you friend
People may seem friendly and happy when things are going well, but their true loyalty is revealed in trying times.

Funny how you never know who cares until it hurts
It's often only in difficult moments that you can truly see who genuinely cares about you.

And when it's over does it matter who blew who off first
When everything is said and done, it doesn't matter who offended or ignored who first.

Remember when you lost your head
Think back to a moment when you were overwhelmed and not thinking clearly.

Your mind screams for what you should have said
Looking back, you wish you had said something different or handled the situation differently.

Face the world with a painful smile
Even if you're hurting, sometimes you still have to put on a brave face.

Holding back the guilt inside
You may feel guilty or responsible for the situation, but are trying to suppress those emotions.

You never thought you'd do such harm
You may be surprised and regretful of the impact your actions had on others.

You'll never forget or hide these scars
Even if you try, the emotional wounds caused by the situation will always be present and can't be hidden forever.

Hurting inside's no way to grow
Holding onto pain and sadness is not a healthy way to move forward and grow personally.

So just let go
You need to let go of the pain and guilt to begin the healing process.

'Cause it's gone with yesterday
The painful experience is in the past and doesn't have to impact your present or future.

I know the things you're going through are hard to take
I understand that what you're currently dealing with is difficult to handle.

Trying to be what you never wanted find a real way to be brave
You may be trying to be someone you're not, but it's important to find the strength to be your true self.

I've learned to understand you'll get by on your own
I've come to realize that you're capable of handling your own problems and will come out stronger because of it.

You've got yourself to count on now but realize your not alone
Even though you may feel alone in this situation, it's important to remember that you always have yourself to rely on and others who care about you.

Don't need weak sympathy
You don't need someone to just feel sorry for you or offer insincere support.

What you need you will find
The true support and strength you need to make it through will come from within and the people who genuinely care about you.

Just open your fist and reach to me
Instead of holding onto pain and guilt, reach out to me for support and help.
