she made a mistake
the mistake was big
dad left mum in the bathtub
now dad is in the bin

she made a mistake
the mistake was big
dad told me that it was a secret
dad is always listening

i made a mistake
the mistake was big
i forgot to give dad his medicine
now his home is the bin

Hurt was the black of a soulless night
Healing was the white of a peaceful dove

He stabbed her heart with a metaphorical knife
She covered the wound with her husband's love

You told me that your home was your garden
Surrounded by God's beautiful nature
I told you that my home is the ocean
Surrounded by water that stretches on forever
We both came from homes of destruction
We both came from homes of pain
The most wonderful home that we ever knew was the one that we both made

Betrayal comes in many colours
Betrayal comes in many forms
No betrayal quite matches yours

The knife you stabbed into my back
Twists and slices my flesh
A painfully bitter reminder that I won't trust you again

Darkness lingers here because the wounds are deeper
Healing is hard when you don't want to get better
Darkness lingers here because you are a special kind of sick
The reality of death being your dearest wish

When she was a child she would escape into her mind
When she wanted to cry she would fake a smile
When she became a woman
She planned her great escape
The slice of a blade caused the end of her charade

You tore one of my walls down
Hoping to destroy me
I have a million layers growing exponentially
Try your best but my perfect mess will always be around
