Name: Hard To Forget
Duration: P00H03M34S
Description: I held onto the past for a long time. And the next batch of songs are me trying to deal with those imagined sleights that my overthinking monkey mind made up. I have to remember to stay present in the moment because the past kept me sad and the future kept me anxious. And in that state, it made those stories #HardToForget. More importantly, it kept me from living.

about

I held onto the past for a long time. And the next batch of songs are me trying to deal with those imagined sleights that my overthinking monkey mind made up. I have to remember to stay present in the moment because the past kept me sad and the future kept me anxious. And in that state, it made those stories #HardToForget. More importantly, it kept me from living.

lyrics

i let these moments pass me by
they're never quite so real
i choose the ones i feel
holding on to memories
clouded by me tears
i choose the ones i fear

(chorus)
it's hard to forget
pain and regret
ghosts of my past
they stay in my head
moving on is never easy
obsessed over times
all idealized
what's true may be false
denying it all
wake up and see the real truth

it's easier to lay down and
ignore reality
cuz time's no longer free
shackled by the promises
of perfect loves and dreams
though love was never free

(chorus)

(bridge)
i sought pleasure, to mask all of my pain
i chose sleep, to never wake again
every moment passes
and nothing's quite the same
pretty soon i realized
the only constant is change

(chorus)
