Lyrics
I lie here , Feeling just like I'm slow-ly , Slowly wasting away
With feelings , I've been trying to hide , They're taking their toll on me
These memories are , Still trapped inside my mind , Never to let me be .
( Chorus )
Been looking for , Things I can't have
And the dream of life , That I can't live
Don't want to live in my past , For one more day
Will this show me how to - become , Finally Free from all of this
It's not there , What I'm trying to find , Or what I'm looking for
Are there answers , For things that are in my mind , And what I'm searching for
Put upon a shelf , We filled it up with the memories , But nothing seems really clear
Where have you gone , And why can't you still be , Still be right here
( Chorus )
Been looking for , Things I can't have .
And the dream of a life , That I can't live .
Don't want to live in my past , For one more day
Can this help me become , Free from this .
It push me down , Pushed me out of the way
Don't want to live a life , I just can't live .
Left to wonder what else , Will come my way
And it will it help me - become , Finally free from all of this .
( Solo )
( Chorus )
Been looking for , Things I can't have .
And the dream of a life , That I can't live .
Don't want to live in my past , For one more day
Help me become , Free from this .
I found the note , The one you wrote
With your love , And your pain
Became distant , This love was lost
It was here , but now it's gone
It's hard to see , From the road ahead
I'm still hangin' on , but just by a thread
Consuming me , It got a hold on me
Squeezing tightly , On the very life of me
( Final chorus )
Been looking for , Things I can't have .
And the dream of life , That I can't live .
Don't want to live in my past , For one more day
Will this help - me become
Finally - Free - from - all - of - this .
