I Thought You Were ...

Swollen, close to Broken

Take my hands in yours

Make this all worth while

Slit the lies with a knife

Take down your troubles

Alone in the darkness

Night falls around you

Where has the light gone?

2 years now

And you can never see me

The way you used to

Strong enough to move on

Weak enough to remember

Who I was around you

Keeping up with you

Kept me short of breath

Never realizing the damage

Being one with all your sin

I can not be your savior

Watching you drink again

I thought you were my Father

Why can’t I remember?

These are the years

Defining who I am

You are a dark shadow

Hovering around my past

And I’m not letting you back in

You are not who I am

Without you I am complete

This is just a sorry mess

That you left me when I was young

Now that I am grown

I am grown

I am strong

Defended by myself

You can’t hurt me.

And last time

Is the last time

You will ever see my face.
