Where were you,
when you left me alone,
all by myself in this broken home,
did you think I was supposed to raise myself,
now that I did I made it through hell,
you brought these tears through alcoholic indulgence,
playing games and running tricks with emotions,
why did you just abandon me,
is this the way it was suppose to be,
you worship needles like I worship crosses,
can you proclaim that you know who your god is,
break down these walls that you've built for me,
I once was blind but now I can see,
ripped apart from the insides i bleed,
this cage inside my false reality,
i use to think I could make it as real as I can,
without a thought, a prayer, or even a plan,
you're the one who was taken from me,
you're the one who took these feelings I need,
with these three words I'll try to change out world,
this time it's time to start anew,
I forgive you,
it's time to rebuild,
rebuild on what's forgotten,
piece by piece we'll try to live again,
once loves begotten,
I can't remember the last time that I felt so alive,
living life with so much resentment and pain,
was sure to consume my pride,
people tell me that saying sorry is for the weak,
but thanks to the man up stairs,
I learned to turn the other cheek,
now you're ready to take on the world,
I still love you.
