This Life, It's Bleeding Memories...

I thought I'd remember every face

Every laugh every place

But time don't keep what we don't frame

It just erases names

Hard drives crash minds do too

Moments fade between the truth

I lived fast never hit rewind

Now I'm haunted by the blur of time

Every second said "I'll come back later"

Later never came

I wish I took more pictures

Wish I saved the film

This life is bleeding memories

Through a permanent pen

You can't replace what was lost

With what wasn't saved

If I knew it wouldn't last

I'd have held every frame

Polaroids stuck to the fridge door

Faces I don't see anymore

Voicemails I forgot to keep

Now silence is all they leave

We were young thought time was free

Didn't know it charged a fee

Every goodbye felt temporary

Till it wasn't suddenly

Every moment said "you've got forever"

Forever slipped away

I wish I took more pictures

Wish I saved the film

This life is bleeding memories

Through a permanent pen

You can't replace what was lost

With what wasn't saved

If I knew it wouldn't last

I'd have held every frame

Now I scroll through empty space

Looking for a familiar face

Just proof we were here at all

Before the fade before the fall

If regret had a sound it'd play

Every time I press replay

But the past don't buffer or load

It just goes

No backup no second take

No undo for the days we waste

If love was light I let it burn

Now I ache for every return

I wish I took more pictures

Wish I saved the film

This life is bleeding memories

And I'm feeling every drip

You can't replace what was lost

With what wasn't saved
