Forsaken Memory

You weakened when I told you to be strong
You gave up when I told you to carry on
In silence and desolation you were caught
When you let go of a dream you had always sought
A battle lost, but you never really fought

For a life you would never find
A dream you could never realize
For the nightmares you couldn't leave behind
A fantasy you could never cast aside

Time after time, I told you to hold on
Kept you from crossing that line
Time after time, I told you to be strong
Told you the sun would shine again

I wish you'd still be here with me today
If only you could've found another way
So much more left you just couldn't see
Now you're only a forsaken memory
Just the way you always wanted it to be

The sparkles in your eyes, now captured in emptiness
A burning desire within, now your flames extinguished
Silence surrounding your forsaken memory
Just the way you always wanted it to be

Now that you're looking down upon me
Was it worth dying for?
Now that you're a star in heaven, broken free
Was it worth killing for?

For a life you would never find
A dream you could never realize
For the nightmares you couldn't leave behind
A fantasy you could never cast aside

Dragged along by the agony that haunted you
I took the fall over and over again
I've sacrificed myself for you
Took the fall in vain

Cause your story was written long ago
And your fate was sealed long before
But now that you look down
On the earthly world below

Was it all worth dying for?
Walking through that open door
Was it worth sacrificing me for?
And losing a life you adored?
