Walking down memory lane
Tracing old scars
Chasing down happy tears
Chasing away all my fears
Remember why I’m here
Remember who is by my side
Walking down memory lane
Tracing old scars

My finger traces a path along my wrist
As I recall the story to each scar
The reason behind each cut
The path winds down my abdomen
Across my thighs and calves
A story and reason for each scar
A lonely night cried to sleep
These old scars have their own memories

Walking down memory lane
Tracing old scars
Chasing down happy tears
Chasing away all my fears
Remember why I’m here
Remember who is by my side
Walking down memory lane
Tracing old scars

A blade, a knife, anything sharp
It didn’t really matter
As long as blood flowed
Now it’s just my finger
Softly tracing these scars
A tear for each one
Just like those nights
So long ago

Walking down memory lane
Tracing old scars
Chasing down happy tears
Chasing away all my fears
Remember why I’m here
Remember who is by my side
Walking down memory lane
Tracing old scars

And as I sit here this night
Tracing old scars
Reliving memories
I find myself despairing
Seeing how weak I was
Seeing how I harmed myself
Seeing how I still long to
Tracing old scars
