You gave me so much but you took away more,
You took parts of my soul and a life I adored.

You gave me so many reasons that killed me inside,
You gave me numbness, and pain, and every reason to hide.

You gave me a burden to bear that I didn’t deserve,
And yet today it is still you that I shamefully serve.

I know its something that I shouldn’t still carry,
But I don’t want to dig up what I have buried.

Much time has passed and I know it’s time to let go,
I’m giving back to you what I should’ve never known.

So I have a gift for you, the same one you gave to me,
The gift that made me blind but now I finally see.

Now it’s your burden to bear, which is how it’s supposed to be,
Now I’ve taken away your power, and finally I can be free.
