Inge, now older, asks why tell the story? Why re-live the pain?

lyrics

Put the book away now
Let’s leave the past behind
It’s a brand new day, now
Can’t we just look forward
Must we be resigned to let the pain continue to define us?

Why tell it at all?
It’s such a sad story
Why pass on the past?
Just keep it all buried deep.
The wounds will scar over,
I’m tired of being broken.

If the past can’t be corrected
It should be hidden in a drawer
And I’ll stay unaffected
If I just keep moving like we promised once before
And we won’t have to feel this anymore.

Why tell it at all?
It’s such a sad story
Why pass on the past?
Just keep it all buried deep.
The wounds will scar over,
I’m tired of being broken.

Our parents worked throughout their lives
To make sure you and I’d survive
The greatest gift we can return
Is to keep their memories alive

(Why tell it at all? It’s such a sad story)
The past will bring us to our knees
(Why pass on the past? Just keep it all buried deep.)
If we don’t let the story free
(The wounds will scar over)
But maybe we’ll find peace

Maybe we will find peace
