They said she'd fade away in time
But I haven't forgotten her name.
They said she'd disappear from my mind,
Like it was some childish game.
They said I would forget it all
The life of the girl I lost
But I still remember her face
So was it worth all that cost?
They said she had to go away
Yet I can still hear her voice
She sacrificed her life for mine,
Was there any other choice?
I can't forget those crimson eyes
Burning like tiny fires.
They fit perfectly on her gentile face
That I grew to admire.
I didn't know her long at all,
But we grew so close, so fast.
It's hard for me to understand
How these memories will pass.
So I'll hold on to them for as long as I can
And pray that you'll always know
That even though I'll soon forget
I will not let you go.
