Everything

Held back...
Held back by a thread,by a memory of what used to be.
I just want to live my life but this thread is choking me.
I tried and tried to please you but it never changed a thing.

Now you're tearing me in two with all the broken memories you bring
And how its killing me as the days just eat away.
I just want to forget you but my mind won't let me escape.
The past has its grip and is beating down on me.

I fight back with all my strength to find I'll never be free.
Was it all a game to you,did you ever care?

Did you ever care?

Held back...
Held back by a thread,by a memory of what used to be.

Where do we go from here?

The voice of failure is what I fear.
Should I cry in anger or reflect on despair?
Seduced by the past with emptiness that lasts.
The shallowness that shows and the selfishness that grows.

Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?

I refuse to sit complacent and watch it all slip away.
I'm not content with the effort that I've made.
Pondering on solution, I know the answers lie there but striving for improvement is clearly unaware.
A true commitment with no possible gain is just taken for granted and thrown back in our face.
I have reason to believe that we can rebuild from the past.
Redeem and prosper if just given the chance.

Where do we go?
