No Choice

I didn't want to cut the rope I wanted you instead But daddy torched my innocence Placed a gun up to my head My naivety was gone 12 years is not that long I fought and screamed and tried to run But I was not that strong You see little one, I would never want you dead I would have rather killed myself than killing you instead You see mommy has no money Mommy has no home And mommy doesn't want you living here when you would be alone Cause you deserve a heaven Not a bleeding broken home I never meant to make you hurt I know I crossed the line Just know by taking your life I was really taking mine I'm crying on the staircase for the life we could have had I wanted a life so bad with you I wish you had a better dad As I'm opening this bottle I know we can make it through I will never leave again because I'm coming home To you
