I lay in your arms
In the protected circle of your embrace
The hour hand moves slowly
And I think of things I can not bear to face.
Torturing thoughts tease at my mind
Even though I know they will never be true
It scares me it's on my mind
But it's not because of you.
Memories are my enemy
For that's what you expect me to be
I know I'm not that little girl anymore
I just want to be Happy.
Memories are my enemy
For all the damning hurt they hold.
For all the lies turned upside down
Because the truth had to be told.
But memories are my sanctuary
When my life is hard to bear
Because I can count on you holding me
And forever being there.
