Happy Now

How many times Will I have to listen To all the stories you've told How many lies Will you speak aloud Inquiring minds want to know The choices I've made Belong just to me And I won't be blamed for yours The mistakes that I've made Needless to say Are ones that I have endured The pain that I feel Cuts like a knife When you won't listen to me Wounds won't heal With scars so deep I wish that this you'd see It's true I was given One mother to love And I know in my heart that I do But as an adult Remembering when I have points that differ from you So I'll walk away From all I have known If it means moving on with my life But not for a minute Will I turn to look back I can't handle anymore strief I'm happy now Don't take it away By injecting anymore pain My life is full And worth so much more There's nothing left to explain
