I move forward but my mind stays back

Every smile hides a crack

New days, but the same old scenes

Same old words in my dreams

I can laugh, I can play my part

But I still feel it in my heart

I don’t talk, I don’t show the mess

But I remember more than I confess

They say “just let it go”

Yeah, I tried, they don’t know

I don’t forget, I just pretend

I’m okay, yeah, I’m fine again

But every word, every face

Is still running in my head

I don’t forget, I just move on

But the past is never gone

I can smile, I can reset

But my mind… yeah, my mind don’t forget

New life, but the same old me

Same old thoughts chasing me

I delete, I replace, I run

But it’s still there when the night comes

Some things never really die

They just wait, they just hide

I don’t break, but I bend sometimes

I remember more than I like

They say “time will fix it all”

But some things don’t fall

I don’t forget, I just pretend

I’m okay, yeah, I’m fine again

But every word, every face

Is still running in my head

I don’t forget, I just move on

But the past is never gone

I can smile, I can reset

But my mind… yeah, my mind don’t forget

Maybe one day it’ll fade away

Maybe one day it won’t hurt the same

But even if I change my name

My memory plays the same game

I don’t forget, but I survive

I’m still here, I’m still alive

I can lose, I can regret

But my mind… my mind don’t forget

I don’t forget, I just move on

But some ghosts don’t leave you alone

I can heal, I can progress

But my mind… yeah, my mind don’t forget
