Summer time has come and past
But the memories we have stay and last
Knowing that today might be the end
Holding on to those selected friends
What happens next, the end or the start?
The beginning or the mending of your whole broken heart
If we put the pieces together and find a new part
Do we add it to the mixture or tear it apart?
Walking down the railroad tracks
Sunset light hitting my back
Heading towards the darkness and away from the light
Away from the battle but towards the fight
Close off and seclude myself
Take the bottles of liquor off the dusty shelf
Isolate myself inside a cold building
Where I can do my final willing
I place the note you wrote me into the fire
I watch it burn as I feel my pain retire
I throw out every picture I have of you
Every keepsake, memory, thought, or clue
I never knew you
I never knew you
Feel the fire, the warmth of the burn
The pain magnifies the thoughts as you learn
That you had a choice
You could stay there or quit
You have a voice
You could speak up or keep quiet
The scar remains as the pain weakens
You question the things you once believed in
When nothing is good enough and you can’t get by
Whether or not you leave it or try
Get yelled at because you’re not measuring up
I’m doing my best; I could easily just not give a fuck
So don’t tell me what I already know
What I need to do, what I need to show
You aren’t in my shoes and I’m sick of your shouting
Take your anger out on someone else; I’m through with your doubting
You never knew me
You never knew me
