Traces of You
Chasing Shadows of Love: Frankie Master's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
I've got a photo of you saved on my phone
I have a photo of you saved on my phone.
My friends say it's got to go
My friends advise me to delete the photo.
Still follow you, I can see what you post
Despite that advice, I still follow you and see your posts.
My dad says I ought to know to
My dad advises me to be aware of certain things about you.
Forget the traces of you as soon as I can
I'm told to forget any lingering memories or connections with you as soon as possible.
Forget nostalgia, 'cause it's no use
I should let go of nostalgic feelings because they are not helpful.
I know I'm supposed to hate you, delete you, erase you
Although I'm expected to dislike you, remove you from my life, and forget you,
But my mind's made up, it wants the best for you
My mind is determined to wish the best for you.
I can see you in the dark, I can keep you in my heart
I can still sense your presence even in difficult times, and I want to cherish the positive memories.
Even though I know that you're gone
Despite knowing that you are no longer a part of my life,
I can keep just a piece of your love to hold on to
I want to keep a fragment of the love we shared.
You warned me that you wouldn't be all you thought that I deserved
You warned me that you couldn't be what I deserved,
But you hung around and you held me close, so I didn't believe those words
But you stayed around, held me close, and I doubted those warnings.
When the lights were low and your smile was sweet
During intimate moments with dim lights and your sweet smile,
Oh, when am I gonna learn?
I question when I will learn from past experiences.
I know I'm supposed to hate you, delete you, erase you
Despite societal expectations to cut ties and move on,
But my mind's made up, it wants the best for you
My mind insists on wanting the best for you.
I can see you in the dark, I can keep you in my heart
I still hold onto the image of you in my heart, even though you are no longer present.
Even though I know that you're gone
I acknowledge your absence, but I choose to keep a part of your love with me.
I can keep just a piece of your love to hold on to
You want to talk, you want to jam
You express a desire to talk, connect, and maintain friendship,
You want to stay good friends
Wanting to remain good friends despite the history we share.
But how can we do that after all we had?
However, the challenge is maintaining such a relationship after everything we've been through.
I want to know about your life
I express a curiosity about your current life and experiences.
You want to know about mine
You reciprocate the curiosity about my life.
But the truth is that I'm barely making it by without you
But the truth is, I'm struggling to cope without you.
I know I'm supposed to hate you, delete you, erase you
Despite the emotional turmoil, the expectation is to harbor negative feelings, remove you from my life, and forget you,
But my mind's made up, it wants the best for you
Yet, my mind insists on wishing the best for you.
I can see you in the dark, I can keep you in my heart
Your presence lingers even in the darkness, and I choose to keep you in my heart.
Even though I know that you're gone
Despite the awareness of your absence, I keep a piece of your love as a source of comfort.
I can keep just a piece of your love to hold on to
