Every loud noise
Crowding the edges of my memory
I still wake up

I still wake up
With your name stuck in my throat
Where it got caught
Between your hands when you squeezed
I still wake up in fear
Most nights
Your eyes follow me from every shadow
Every loud noise
Crowding the edges of my memory
I still wake up
