Remember That

Woke up, house too quiet, something ain’t right Checked his room, froze up, Dad’s cold in the night Called his name, no answer, just silence back Heart split in two, you ever felt pain like that? Told myself, “Be strong,” but I ain’t feel real Held his hand, but he ain’t hold back, that’s real Now I’m standing at the grave, can’t breathe, can’t kneel World moves on, but my time just stands still Sat across from my friend, food cold on the plate Eyes sunken in, man, he losing the weight Told me he tired, he can’t take one more day I said, “You’re not alone,” but what more could I say? Watched him fade, while I kept that smile Took the pain, held it in, yeah, I walked that mile He say, “You my brother,” but I swear I failed How you save someone who don’t wanna be saved? I left my home, felt the walls push me out Nobody cared, no one called, no doubt I seen myself fall, I seen myself break I let down the ones who gave more than they take Tore me apart, yeah, it cut too deep I held my breath, I forgot how to breathe I lost, I failed, I burned, I cracked All those nights, all those fights Remember that Tears in my eyes, yeah, they dried like glass Took that hurt, put it all in the past I felt that weight, I ain’t going back I swear to myself, yeah **Remember that** Yeah, I been through hell, I won’t let it shape me I lost my way, but it never erased me Every scar that I wear is a mark of the past I don’t run from the pain, man, I learn, I adapt Took the loss, took the lesson, now I’m leveling up Ain’t a chain on my soul, I’m the one lighting up Took my rage, took my doubt, turned it all into fuel If you counting me out, you ain’t read the whole book I don’t bend, I don’t break, I don’t fade, I don’t crack Every cut, every bruise **Remember that** Tore me apart, yeah, it cut too deep I held my breath, I forgot how to breathe I lost, I failed, I burned, I cracked All those nights, all those fights Remember that Tears in my eyes, yeah, they dried like glass Took that hurt, put it all in the past I felt that weight, I ain’t going back I swear to myself, yeah **Remember that** (remember that) ... (remember that) ... Remember that. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ © 2025 The Badfatler All rights reserved.
