I listen to music to help me forget
The way your smile curves up from your face
The light in your eyes and the way that you smile
I listen to music to remember
The taste of your lips and the sound of your voice
I want to be inspired
In hope of living a dream
Where your words won't haunt me
In hope of being able to listen
To that stupid happy song
Without wanting to drown myself in alcohol
And cry myself to sleep because I don't know who you are anymore
I listen to music in hope of saving myself
Because I know one day I'll be able to love again
Without hurting
Without having fear of falling again
I listen to music because it speaks
With words I will never be able to express
Music heals
And so will I
