A Part Of Yesterday - ArlenaZara
I carry the scars you left behind
Invisible marks on heart and mind
I thought time could heal, I thought I'd mend
But some pain refuses to end
I smile for the world, I hide the bruise
Pretend the past is just old news
But every step I take, every night I pray
Reminds me of wounds that stay
I try to forget, I try to let go
But memories linger, they never show
Wounds that stay
Even when the world moves on
I keep them hidden, but they're never really gone
I try to breathe, I try to heal
But the hurt is quiet, it's all I feel
Wounds that stay
A part of me
A part of yesterday
I replay your words, the things you did
The silent nights, the love you hid
I wonder if you even see the pieces of me left empty
I build my walls, I lock my doors
But some pain lives forevermore
I face the days, I face the gray
But wounds that stay, they never stray
I tell myself I'll be alright
But shadows linger in the night
Wounds that stay
Even when the world moves on
I keep them hidden, but they're never really gone
I try to breathe, I try to heal
But the hurt is quiet, it's all I feel
Wounds that stay
A part of me
A part of yesterday
If love could change, if hearts could mend
Would these wounds have found their end?
I loved too deep, I gave my all
Now I rise even as I fall
I carry them
But I survive
Learning to live, learning to thrive
Wounds that stay
They shape the heart I wear
A quiet strength, a tender scar
A story only I can bear
I try to breathe, I try to heal
And slowly I begin to feel
Wounds that stay
But I'm still here
I found my way
Some pain never leaves the soul
But I'll keep walking, I'll make it whole
Wounds that stay
Yet I survive each day
That I survive each day
