The War by Rishka Hadad (books for 20 year olds txt) 📕

The War

I’m reliving old memories
Reflecting back through photographs
Trying yet to cling to the last
Of what's now the past
You left without a warning
You could have at least told me why
'Cause ever since you left me
All I want is to cry

I’m drowning in my emotions
And I’m running out of time
While the once peaceful memories
Rage a war inside my mind
Oh I’m clinging to your memories
And praying for dear life
I’m alive but will I survive the war

I’m now brokenhearted
You left me here all alone
I’m finding out the answers
Don’t change nothing at all
It’s time that I stopped searching
I’m to blame for what went wrong
One thing I know for certain
Is you’re gone; I’ve gotta move on

I’m drowning in my emotions
And I’m running out of time
While the once peaceful memories
Rage a war inside my mind
Oh I’m clinging to your memories
And praying for dear life
I’m alive...how will I survive
The war

Someday days will roll on by
Without one tear in my eye
And I’ll be telling myself
I will make it on my own
And my friends
They’ve all gone back to their lives
Thinking I will be alright
But I'm crying through the nights
All alone


I’m drowning in my emotions
And I’m running out of time
While the once peaceful memories
Rage a war inside my mind
Oh I’m clinging to your memories
And praying for dear life
I’m alive...but can I survive
This war

I’m reliving old memories
Reflecting back through photographs
Reluctantly releasing the last
Of what’s now the past
