Forgotten Friend

from Forgotten Friend by John H Maloney

lyrics

I see my old forgotten friend
In the mirror once again
Still full of hope and so
Alive behind the eyes
And I don't know what to do
When it comes to facing you
And al those pieces I don't
Want to recognize

Won't you please just set me free
And quit reminding me of who I'll never be again

Far too many wasted years
Spent losing ground to my worst fears
Life slipping by as I sink
Faster than a stone
Here I sit in this hollow place
With all these scars time won't erase
And all I know is that
I'm better off alone

I wish I could let me go
And just keep on sinking further down below but then

What if I could find that something left inside
The piece of me that doesn't want to run and hide
And turn that ember into a fire burning bright
To light my way out of this cold and empty endless night

Just maybe I might find my way
Into a better brand new day
And hold on to that hope
That I once thought was gone
It may not happen overnight
But I think I could be alright
But now I know that
I've got to be moving on

Although, I’m not sure that I trust
It’s even possible, I must do what I must
To try to make it there somehow
And if I don't start to make those changes now then when
