If you hadn't...what? Been afraid? Your work was cut out for you How many told you to walk out on me? Did your father finally convince you? Who told you I was faking? Who convinced you it wasn't real? Tell me so I can hold him or her accountable Thus clearing your innocent name ...but If there was nobody else Planting words and ideas in your brain You must have thought of it yourself Forget till death do we part I really believed love would keep that promise But you got stuck between sickness and health Had fear consumed all your love even then? I empathize but I blame you You could have stuck around at least long enough to watch for improvement, offering encouragement I know it was frightening to you. It was scaring the hell out of me But I was strong enough to hold you Had you only been there to hold When did you stop loving me? I was a lost cause in that day
