down memory lane - sad reflection lyrics

Loading...

do you remember your first steps?
the answer’s pretty obvious
it’s something you cannot recall

memories can keep you warm
but they can also tear you apart
cause they will clearly make you
remember your last ones

we work our fingers to the bone
we spend a life of privation
providing for our loved ones
’til the day we’re weak and dysfunctional

it’s already sad for those who
end up in retirement homes
but the most unfortunates
will spend their golden years in hospitals

add to her woes
cancer is diagnosed
and suddenly all glimmering hope
slowly fades away

tears running down
staring at white walls
afraid to end up like first steps
forgotten by all
a shattered looking glass
a sad reflection of your life
you taught me how to talk and walk
you did your best, you gave me love

the irony is that our goals
are often dreamed of but kept untold
so don’t back down and live out loud
before the hourglass runs out

we’re all passerbys
living on borrowed time
then someday our life is fined
with such a price to pay

a few end alone
sick, sad and vulnerable
thin whispers, one way dialogues
cause no one’s coming

we’re never ready for this day to come
much better days are far behind us
now’s the time to rest while you still can

then you’ll know the real meaning of the word “torture” as the clock ticks down
this waiting game is way worse than the sickness itself
do i remember my first steps?
the answer’s pretty obvious
this precious memory is yours
mine will be those times spent with you
