Without You
The beginning.
I remember it so well.
The way we were imprinting.
How you made my heart swell.
As time drew on, we fell apart.
It started with you.
Pulling away and trying to depart.
Wanting to leave me and ensue
A life without the little thing you left build inside me.
I was a fool.
I pulled you back despite your flee.
Looking back, you were cruel.
Or so it seemed back then.
Turn time to the present.
I saw you were another mad men.
I stayed longer than I meant.
Raising a kid with you.
I dealt with the abuse and torment.
She saw it too.
That was never my intent..
I'm trying so hard to fix my life.
Cause I'm sharing with her.
She deserves right.
So I can't deter.
I'm attempting to leave.
I'm scared to say it.
I feel like you'll be frustrated.
I'm so tired of trying.
Of lying.
Crying.
Complying.
Of dying.
The pressure of falsifying.
I can't follow the rules of your game anymore.
I dropped out before we were halfway through.
So here I am, standing by the door.
Wanting to pursue
A new life without you.
