(Verse 1)

I close my eyes, but they still linger,

Shadows of a time I can't erase.

Every whisper cuts like a dagger,

A melody I wish to replace.

(Pre-Chorus)

They're woven in the silence, deep inside my mind,

A haunting echo, a past I can’t unwind.

(Chorus)

Unwanted memories, dancing in the dark,

Lighting up the pain, reigniting scars.

I try to let them go, but they always stay,

Unwanted memories, won't fade away.

(Verse 2)

The nights are long, and dreams betray me,

Painting pictures I don't want to see.

Each moment pulls me back unwillingly,

To a place where I can never be free.

(Pre-Chorus)

They're written on my heart, a story I despise,

A never-ending script behind my weary eyes.

(Chorus)

Unwanted memories, dancing in the dark,

Lighting up the pain, reigniting scars.

I try to let them go, but they always stay,

Unwanted memories, won't fade away.

(Bridge)

I scream into the silence, but it doesn’t seem to hear,

The weight of all these moments, I’ve carried year by year.

But someday I'll find a way to break this chain,

To turn the hurt to wisdom, and the loss to gain.

(Chorus)

Unwanted memories, dancing in the dark,

Lighting up the pain, reigniting scars.

I try to let them go, but they always stay,

Unwanted memories, won't fade away.

(Outro)

But even as they linger, I'll learn to stand tall,

For even broken pieces can shine through it all.

Unwanted memories, you won't hold me down,

Someday I’ll rise above and take back my crown.
