There For Me
You were there for me,
You set me free.
Free from all the pain.
Free from all the shame.
When you left me there,
All I could do was stare,
As you walked into the night.
You left,
You were right.
Right that I would feel this way,
You were right when you said I would cry,
But you were wrong.
Wrong in more ways than one.
So here I am today,
Not telling you to stay.
But saying thank you,
Thanks for all the pain,
They way you put my name to shame.
You took everything I had,
And turned it where it seemed bad.
But here I am today,
Not living the wrong way.
Me defenses are up,
So I don't get hurt,
They way you hurt me that day.
