Trying To Heal

I don't know why you're angry About the things I've said When all that I have spoken Are merely words instead I don't know why you blame me For speaking what's on my mind When all that I am doing Is breaking the ties that bind You think it's me that hates you Because of what I write But if you listen carefully You might gain some insight Not everything's about you Why can't you understand The pain that life has dealt me I carry in my two hands I'm simply breaking away From all that I have known So someday you might actually see How your little girl has grown My pain is mine to heal These chains are mine to break I'm sorry if this hurts you A leap of faith I'll take
