Remember

It could make me wanna sit down and cry,
Everything we'll ever be has to die,
Everything we ever were is dead,
I cannot believe what I've had
It could make me wanna turn around,
I don't wanna be lost and not found,
Everything that I lose, it just turns me upside down
Whatever I did on the way to becoming myself,
Here, today, all the skins that I shed like a snake have gone astray
I could not be me, I could not feel me, 'cause I realize I can't be just what I used to be
If I could only bring it back forever (3x)
Forever!
You don't know just what it means to me,
I could never go back to be the way I used to be
Believe me deep inside I think it's killing me I could live I could die,
I could pray I could try to be me, but I can't be me!

I remember me as a child,
Now my fantasies running wild,
Like a smell or a taste from the past,
This reminds me of me
Everything that I used to do,
I was so small, everything was new,
I never knew, what I'd grow up into
I remember the fear and the pain,
I remember the joy just the same,
I remember myself like a friend from days gone by
I could not be me, I could not feel me,
'Cause I realize I can't be just what I used to be
If I could only bring it back forever (3x)
Forever!

I tried and tried to ease the pain,
But now I'm gone and I cannot come home again
Where's the little boy, that I used to be,
Of everything that I've lost I never wanted to lose me,
Use me up like a battery-pack,
I never wanted to leave,
But now I can't come back,
I never felt it before,
But I feel it here today,
I wanna make it stay...
But the memories fade away!
