I'M THE ONE

I’m the one here now

Wishing for the pain to fade

Hoping your heart will heal

Wishing to hold you

To make it alright again

Trying to break down walls

Brick by brick I chisel away

Growing more discouraged

The dreams I had for you and I

Fade away in misery

They took so much away

Too much for me to save

They continued taking

Everything you gave

I’m the one here now

Giving all I have

Wondering

If it’ll ever be enough

To save you from the hell you’re in

To bring you to the light

Trying to make you see

That loving someone is alright

You’ve closed so much down

And those who enslaved you

Are the ones to blame

They should pay for what they’ve done

Put the pain on them

Guilt knows no boundaries

It belongs to them

Let it go where it belongs

Let the pain stop here

I’m the one here now

Giving all I have
