I can't erase the memories,
I can't run away from my fears,
I can't hide from my nightmares,
And wish the darkness away.
I can't run forever,
I can't hold back the tears.
We can't say goodbye forever,
Without a better reason, dear.
You can't change who I am,
Nor can I ever allow you to.
You can't always be right,
I can't always bow my head with a "I'm sorry" to you.
For that will only damage us internally.
You can't truly want to see the scars, that guard my heart for eternity.
You can't wait for time
To heal this hole in me.
Take me as I am,
Without trying to force a change in me.
My head is stubborn willed,
It will do it's best,
To push you from me.
