I remember me, starting at myself See these same two eyes, see these same two feet I remember you, you who I used to be You still look the same, but you don't hurt like me Look at my reflection, somewhere my affection Disappeared, isn't here, nothing left to say Memories they fading, but I'm the one who makes them So I keep the love close to enough to say What if this life is all that we're given We just can't stop living, scared of what we'll see 'Cause in this world, anything can hurt you Push you, then forget you Stole my history But I remember me, I remember me It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know I remember me, I remember me Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die I remember me, I remember me oh oh I tell you what my name is And ain't nothing gon' change it 'Cause what you are is what you are Even if your memory's flawed I go to places, trying to find familiar faces They don't show, but I still know They don't have to look for me I dream about, I dream about The place where all the broken pieces fit together 'Cause in this world, anything can hurt you And it push you, then forget you And stole my history But I remember me, I remember me It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know I remember me, I remember me Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die I remember me Now all that's left of these hands, this breathe I've said goodbye to so many things that tears wont cry And I take this pain, this joy, and rain 'Cause all that matters now is In this life anything can hurt you Push you then forget Erase your history But I remember me, I remember me It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know I remember me, I remember me Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die I remember me I remember me, oh woah I remember me, I tell you what my name is I tell you what me name is Do or die
