Original Songs by Kent Newsome

Traces of Me


We've been here many times before
A hundred times, a million ways
That end up with you telling me we're through
But when you walk away
From something you love
Part of it remains with you

Chorus:
I won't try to change your mind
If you think you have to be free
But sometime when you feel the glow
Of a lingering memory
Like a thousand times before you'll know
It's just traces of me

You say that I'm holding you back
And that you've been feeling fenced in
We must have crossed that bridge a million times
Well here we go again
I can play my part
I have memorized my lines

Chorus:
I won't try to change your mind
If you think you have to be free
But sometime when you feel the glow
Of a lingering memory
Like a thousand times before you'll know
It's just traces of me

Bridge:
We have a long history
Of you leaving me
But even when you're gone
I'm never alone
I can always hold on to
Those traces of you

Chorus:
I won't try to change your mind
If you think you have to be free
But sometime when you feel the glow
Of a lingering memory
Like a thousand times before you'll know
It's just traces of me
