Memories...
Have the power to make you smile and linger,
Or crush your ego.
The things that people did to you
They were not your fault
You can't undo them
* If you leave the past behind,
* It can not control your mind.
* And maybe some day you can just
* Forget you're broken.
Take some time to think things over
You can only live your own life.
------
There is a battle in your mind
Like the chaos in the streets
They're fighting
A revolution
The memories won't let you sleep
And if you let them own you
They will control you
* You gotta leave the past behind
* Never let it own your mind
* And maybe some day you can win
* a battle with your demons
* You're the one that's in control
* You're the captain of your mind
* If you want peace you have to
* Let it go.
The past belongs in the past.
You alone create your future.
------
When you leave your past behind
It still belongs to you
You own it.
It shapes who you are.
You keep those memories and scars
Let them remind you
That you are stronger
* When the dark gives way to dawn
* And you realize you're strong
* Then you'll know that
* You are done with feeling broken.
When you find the power in you
No one else can ever break you.
Holding on to toxic memories can cripple you in ways you can't always see.
While you can't simply erase memories, you can stop letting them control you.
Keep the good, leave the bad behind.
