A teardrop falls off your face,
Your body no longer moves with grace.
You’ve changed so much, so recently,
You never let anyone close to you see.
The pain you went through every single night,
Seemed to help you think things were right.
But you always knew the truth was there,
You just never got the courage to let anybody care.
You thought they’d turn you away,
Tell you to come back any other day,
You took this as people wanting you hurt,
You only let the situation get worse.
You couldn’t help it, I more than know,
You figured yourself you had nowhere to go.
You kept it all locked up inside,
You were a little girl again wanting to hide.
Now the pain’s still around,
It’s just not constantly pushing you to the ground.
You’ve fought your battle and almost won,
You can now live your life and easily move on.
