| There’s big pieces of a life she can’t remember
|
| Her mind shuts down, it’s trying to protect her
|
| Might be for the best to forget but it seems like
|
| They always reappear when she least expects
|
| Late nights we lay awake, drowning in the lake that pours out of her face
|
| Years late but she’s still not safe
|
| Memories leap out ant time, any place
|
| The way he smelled, the way he smiled
|
| The evil she even recognized as a child
|
| Hand on her throat, sting of a fist
|
| Instead of her first kiss she got this
|
| Shameful feeling, painful secret
|
| Lonely knowin' that nobody would believe it
|
| Every wound that escapes her time capsule
|
| Hurts like the day it was born and it’s brand new
|
| I wasn’t there babygirl but I’m here
|
| I don’t know what to say I just hear
|
| If there’s one wish I could make true
|
| I would shoulder that pain and take it off you
|
| Don’t run babygirl, don’t run
|
| You gotta' face what you fighting, head on
|
| Only one thing I could say in truth
|
| You gotta' deal with the demons before they deal with you
|
| How can she find peace in her mind when
|
| Love means returning to the scene of a crime?
|
| I can feel it inside we’ve reopened wounds every time we intertwine
|
| Such an evil design when you can’t even enjoy the sweetness you find
|
| Trying to see through the tears in your eyes and rebuild your shrine one piece
|
| at a time
|
| E & K made it all fade away
|
| Colors don’t burn no more it’s all gray
|
| Can’t find heaven from within that shell, but it’s enough of a blessing if just
|
| not seen hell
|
| Constant inner dialog says just end this roller coaster ride you’re on
|
| Only one solution seems final: slide into a hole where your pain can’t find you
|
| She said if I was meant to die he would’ve killed me
|
| There must be a reason that I still breathe
|
| I don’t have the tools to rebuild me
|
| But I still believe that one day I could feel free
|
| And my body can be mine again
|
| My eyes can learn how to shine again
|
| My inner child won’t have to hide and then
|
| When I’m strong then love could be invited in
|
| Sweet God that’s all I ask, of thee
|
| I’m willing to give what you demand of me
|
| I’m learning to embrace the reality
|
| That life doesn’t always turn out how it’s planned to be
|
| I didn’t deserve what was handed me
|
| Only one who can grant happiness is me
|
| What it takes for her to face the day
|
| I can only hope to be half that brave |
