I burned the pictures but the flames won't rise Your voice still echoes in the back of my mind The clock keeps ticking but it's stuck on rewind I'm free but I'm chained to the time we aligned I built these walls but they crumble at night Your shadow dances in the absence of light I'm running forward but I glance behind The love was poison but it felt so divine Why can't I forget us Erase the scars and the dust You're the ghost I can't adjust But why can't I forget us I tried to drown it in a sea of new skies But your name still lingers when I close my eyes I told myself I'd never look back twice But here I am lost in your lies Do I block it out or let it fade Every memory's a hand grenade I want to hate but I'm just afraid Of losing the mess that we made Why can't I forget us Erase the scars and the dust You're the ghost I can't adjust But why can't I forget us
