Thinking Out Loud

Thinking Out loud

_______________
_______________
_

I am yours, flesh 
and blood

gave to you, from 
God above

Here I am, but you 
are not

don't forget, what 
you have got.



All these years, 
we've been apart

I hurt you, cause 
you broke my heart

a little girl, I'm not 
anymore

years have passed, 
just like before.



Time for a change, 
one would think,

talk to me, and not 
the drink

A firstborn, who's 
been the last

hope for the 
present, hate for 
the past.



There's is others, I 
can see

if your there for 
them, be there for 
me

Do they know, 
cause I exist

even if ...I'm 
the bottom on your list.
