I wish I could say it hurts a little less
Each time I find the truth
But instead, I lose another piece
Of who I was before I met you
I’m sitting here on empty
Shaking off these fumes
Trying to separate all the lies, big and little
From what’s true
Someday I’ll be myself again
And for myself, I’ll be enough
I’ll stop trying to be what it is you need
When what you need can’t be done
Someday I’ll learn to trust again
Years or decades down the line
I have faith someday, I’ll be okay
That in the end, I will be fine
I was whole before you met me,
I have somewhere I can go
I will survive what you have done to me,
but trust me when I say
She won’t.
Often in between us, our bed is rarely just us two
She fills both our minds endlessly
Though in different ways, I’m sure
You see her beauty, her laugh, her charm
She is the best thing in your world
I see her perfect stunning smile
And imagine the pain she’ll endure
Someday I’ll be myself again
And for myself, I’ll be enough
I’ll stop trying to be what it is you need
When what you need can’t be done
Someday I’ll learn to trust again
Years or decades down the line
I have faith someday, I’ll be okay
That in the end, I will be fine
I was whole before you met me,
I have somewhere I can go
I will survive what you have done to me,
but trust me when I say
She won’t.
Those big brown eyes and lashes
That bat at you from bed
When she’s had a bad dream and needs her daddy
To scratch her little head
Full of hope and promise,
She believes the world is good
Those eyes will lose their sparkle
When she learns what men will do
Someday I’ll be myself again
And for myself, I’ll be enough
I’ll stop trying to be what it is you need
When what you need can’t be done
I was whole before you met me,
I have somewhere I can go
I will survive what you have done to me,
but trust me when I say
She won’t.
Full of hope and promise,
She believes the world is good.
She will never view this world the same
When she learns what men will do.
Her eyes will never be the same,
When she sees what her hero can do.
