It feels like it was just yesterday
If only I knew the price I had to pay
It feels like I have overcome this pain
But did it cause me to change?
If it did, I'm sorry, is it better now?
Perhaps I am bittersweet
Maybe even sour
Let the rain fall upon our broken skin
Let it burn into our human sin
I remind myself everyday, I am better now
I have a smile on my face
No sign of a frown
But there are nights when I'm all alone
Thinking of you, and nowhere to go
But I have to tell myself over and over
That you'd never come back, not even in October
My bittersweet memories they burn at last
But they'll stay in the back of my head, forever in my past
I stay very strong, amongst the sea serpents
Your candy gets lost, throughout the current
I look out onto the vastness of the pacific sea
I wonder to myself, if you ever thought of me
It's okay now, now I know
For it is I, who brought this pain amongst myself
For the fault does not lie within an individual
It lies along the red demons, I can't hate you all
For one last moment, I stared into the mirror
I told myself, my future was now clearer
I looked back into the darkness,
And told myself
I saved myself from my own mess
