You sed you was there for me
But you never sed there was a fee
You took me out
Ask where I'd like to be
I just wanted to escape
So I sed anywhere but here

Didn't know that meant
you Would take advantage of me
destroy my child hood
As you layed me down
No one to scream to
No where to escape

Just to cry inside and weep
Knowing my hands where my only defence
And you took them away
With one glance of your face
I'd forever hate myself
For letting me trust
For letting me open up
for letting me believe

No one truly cares unless there's a fee
Now forever wishing I could believe
That there is good in the world
Hoping one day I can tell the truth
But that day is miles away

I look into your eyes and cry
You ask why
I say because I was broken
You took me on
You fixed me up
Now you say I'm not what you want

How can it be that you wanted me broken
To see me cry
To see me scared
But now I know
It was to show me the road
Of what life can be
Not worrying about hiding behind the glass

But why I ask
Because you are beautiful
How can I be beautiful and cry
It's not what you look like
But it's how I can make you smile
When you cry
But yet you don't want me
I'll never stop wanting you
But the world is waiting for you
to see the truth that it's OK to cry

Life is scary and I'll always be here but this is your journey to ride without me by your side

He wait by the door
Wondering if your ever
Coming back
Waiting for the knock
That he know is yours

Wanting you to come home
But that day will never come
The day you say im sorry
The day you hugged him
2 years have gone  
With no knock at the door

I guess its time to say goodbye
To the memories
That have caused so much pain
But the love felt true
Which is why i held on
Hoping you didnt forget us

Now you walk down the aisle
And say i do
To someone you just met
A lifetime has past
But still you forget
The one you made

The son that will never know
The son that will feel left
The son that will ask me why
What did i do so wrong

And all i can say is
He wasnt a man
He wasnt brave enough  
He may be your father
But he is no more than that

He still sits looking out the window
With a picture of you
Hoping you will come see him
Maybe that day will come
One day to late

I saw your eyes from the darkest place
That showed me light
To keep pulling through
To help me through the times to come

Your by my side no matter what
I cry you smile
I laugh you cry
The pain is real
But the love is strong
In your arms i lie

Waiting for the darkness
To overwelm me
But you say its ok to let go
When the worst news is over
I look into your eyes
For the final time
The dark sea sets me sail

For if i didnt have you id already be gone
From the pain and suffering
I now see the light

Your my rock for my ocean
That will forever be with me
Floating on the beach
In the dark grey sea
You'll see me swimming away
With the smile on my face

That you made real
No fake smile from the pain
Im now free with no suffering
To be free with the waves as i set sail to the unknown

Waiting for the day you come set sail

I hide in the dark
So you dont see my face
See the truth that lies in my eyes
That i know you lied

The day you lied about the girl
Is the day you lost this girl
The girl who loved you
No matter what
Through the anger and the pain
Smiled when i knew you lied again

I tried to laugh it off
The day i saw you with her
So came home and cried
And stayed in the dark
Till you came home
To ask for the truth
That never came

So i walk out the door
Hoped to be stopped
But your hand never came
Near mine again
Now you call her name
Instead of mine

Still in the dark
While i wait in line
Watching the days go by
Forever hoping for the truth
That will never come by

I hide the real me
So i am liked
I hide my past
So noone knows


I live a second life
One in the shadows
One in everyones eyes
The one every believes i am
The one everyone comes to  
The one who really needs the help
That hides in the dark

I am happy
Thats what we say
When we really want to cry
We laugh we joke
But you'll never know
Who i really am
Staying in the shadows
Is were i belong

You may of treat me like a princess
But really you kept me prisoner
Away from the loved ones you knew saw through you
The ones who would of healled the bruises you left
Instead you hide me from the real life for yourself
Until the day i saw light
Saw the truth
And showed you the door
With one last bruise you give me
I realise i am better
Releasing myself into the world
Saying hello without looking over my shoulder
Thats the life i lived
Now im free and myself

— The End —
