Those lies you spun like a spiders web Took place, built homes, Inside my head. And I didn't try to relocate Because all I could do was appreciate That someone finally cared.
And yes I was scared, Of the danger, of living with a stranger The inconsistencies, the mysteries The roller coaster that was you and me. But I stood my ground, Too thankful, To finally have someone around.
Those lies they weaved, There way into the darkest corners of my mind And in desperation I gave up trying to find myself. Still I remained a squatter In the squalor, the mess
New levels of doubt and distress arrived But I pushed them aside I waited for them to subside As I sat, in tears, screamed and cried And I confided in you, trusted in you A sea of unfamiliarity, Swimming in a river, That was murky, Searching for clarity In a place Where nothing was sign posted, No sense of direction Desperate for any form of connection. Feet rooted, I made no attempt to escape As your cape began to drown me.
You chipped away Day by day My foundations And I so badly wanted it to be okay Because I could finally say I had someone. Someone that said they cared Despite the bruises I bared.
