Memories, please leave me in peace,

I don’t want to cry anymore.

You hang on to my heart and mind,

And I can’t see ahead, very far.

 

My nights are haunted by your dreams.

My days are restless with your essence,

And I can’t get away from the past, it seems,

To simply exist in this world of hopelessness.

 

Oh, leave me alone

I don’t want to be reminded

Of yesterday’s pain

And tomorrow’s fear.

I just want to get by

One day at a time.

 

A token of the past,

That’s where you should stay.

Never coming to me again,

So I may have a future without despair.

 

Memories, please stay behind.

I can’t deal with you anymore

And I don’t have the time.

I must go on, now, one day at a time.
