I held your ghost for a thousand years in a cold embrace I tried hard to forgive, I fought the hate Time won't heal what it breaks, the paradox remains Every scar tells a story, I'm no longer afraid Old days that you forgot Can't forgive, but loved you afar I was just a boy finding his way But the weight of your ghost haunts me to this day I could just die tonight, it would be alright I have no regrets about the choices I made All the times that I failed, all the hugs that I gave All the tears that I shared Every scar tells a story, I'm no longer afraid Like a snake shedding skin to escape the decay, leaving behind a past that asks me to stay I broke free from the chains you carved in my mind Every scar tells a story, I'm no longer afraid All the times that I failed, all the hugs that I gave All the tears that I shared Every scar tells a story, I'm no longer afraid
