[Verse 1] There’s a child somewhere beneath my skin, Still holding battles I could never win. A thousand questions buried in the years, A silent room still echoing with tears. I learned to hide what I was never taught to say, Turned every wound into another day. But some memories refuse to disappear, They wait in the dark until I finally hear. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the past was never asking to be erased, Maybe it was waiting to be embraced. Every scar I tried so hard to conceal Was a part of me that was begging to heal. [Chorus] These unfaded memories keep calling my name, Dragging yesterday through the silence of today. Everything I lost, everything I never knew, All the love I needed but never received in full. Now the ghosts of my childhood stand before my eyes, Not to break me, but to teach me how to survive. I can’t undo the years or change what’s been done, But I can become the shelter I needed when I was young. [Verse 2] I remember the nights I learned to disappear, Smiling through the weight, pretending I was fearless. I carried expectations I was too young to bear, Searching for an answer in an empty room somewhere. For years, I thought healing meant forgetting the pain, But forgetting never washed away the stains. So I stopped running from the pieces of my past And held them with compassion instead of holding back. [Pre-Chorus] Now every memory has a different face, Every broken moment has a different place. What once felt like a weakness I had to hide Became the strength that keeps me alive. [Chorus] These unfaded memories keep calling my name, Dragging yesterday through the silence of today. Everything I lost, everything I never knew, All the love I needed but never received in full. Now the ghosts of my childhood stand before my eyes, Not to break me, but to teach me how to survive. I can’t undo the years or change what’s been done, But I can become the shelter I needed when I was young. [Bridge] So I’ll go back—not to live there again, But to hold that child through the pain. I’ll whisper, “You were never hard to love, You were only waiting for enough.” And every tear I once refused to cry Will become a river carrying me to life. I won’t let the past become my prison anymore; I’ll turn every locked room into an open door. [Final Chorus] These unfaded memories may follow me, But they no longer have authority over me. The child I was is finally learning to breathe, And the person I am is becoming who I need. I’ll carry the scars, but I won’t carry the blame, I’ll honor the past without living in its frame. What once haunted me taught my heart to be brave— I didn’t survive just to remember… I survived to heal. [Outro] And if the memories return someday, I won’t run, I won’t look away. I’ll take their hand, then let them go— Because I finally know I’m not that child anymore.
