Thankyou gin for giving me the courage
Not just to survive but to flourish

Twelve years is a long time
But it's officially over for wartime

Be at peace your heart and head say
Here comes a brand new brave day

A new sun brings a brand new warmth
You have conquered the storms

A calm sea lays ahead
Blue skies are widespread.

Here's a question.

Are you just using me for your own selfish pleasure?
They say another mans trash is another mans treasure.

Do i walk away?
Call it a day!

Or do i treasure you
And take that risk!!

There is a scar on my left wrist
But theres a twist!

Even though it's faded, it still causes me great pain
A pain of no amazing gain

It's like having your face on my wall
A little reminder that you never say hi or even call

I will carry it for the rest of my life
The scar of a knife reminding me i will never be your wife.

The final cold shoulder
The last time I ever run towards this

I have found the fire in me
The fire you tried to drown out

I never imagined I would get this far
I thought I would always need you

The only person I need is me
I stand tall, can look in a mirror and for the first time in a long time finally be free

Memories of us flicker through my mind
Like negatives under a lamp
Times we shared in peace
Times when I felt I was in a prison camp

Things are still fuzzy
My feelings are still not at ease
I have be left to deal with this alone
If I saw you i could only simply fall to my knees

Breakdown like a piece of technology
Glitch like a game
Beg you not to do this to me again
The next time I will see you will probably be through a shop window frame

You dissapear into the crowd
Gone like the wind
Never to share the same space again
Standing, leaving me alone and love blind.

The rain is easing
The sun shines through ever so slowly
I can see it peeling
All the dread from my skin

Fortune is changing
Lady luck for once might be on my side
I swam through my own dark ocean
Broke down all my haunting memories

I am going to bury them
Never to be dug up again
Lay my trauma to rest for the sun is shining
Burning you from my mind.

When you started to love me you created a monster
The devil inside
My demons on my shoulder
You promised we would always be bonnie and clyde

In the dark corners of my mind
There is a tealight of hope
Thats dimming by each passing day
My stomach feels like im walking on tightrope.
